Summary:

The 02745 zip code area of New Bedford, Massachusetts is home to 5 elementary schools serving grades K-5: Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Casimir Pulaski Elementary, Elwyn G. Campbell Elementary, Charles S. Ashley Elementary, and Jireh Swift Elementary.

Among these schools, Casimir Pulaski Elementary and Elwyn G. Campbell Elementary stand out as the top performers. Casimir Pulaski consistently ranks in the top 50% of Massachusetts elementary schools and has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels compared to the other schools in the area. Elwyn G. Campbell also performs well, ranking in the top 50% of state elementary schools and demonstrating strong proficiency, particularly in 5th grade Math and Science.

In contrast, the other three schools - Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Charles S. Ashley Elementary, and Jireh Swift Elementary - lag behind their higher-performing peers, often scoring well below the New Bedford district and state averages in proficiency. This suggests potential inequities in resources, teaching quality, or other factors that contribute to student success across the schools in this area.
