Summary:
The city of Mattapan, Massachusetts is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from pre-K through 8th grade. While the schools in this area face some challenges, a few standout institutions are making strides in academic achievement.
Chittick Elementary School and EllisonParks Early Education School are the top performers, with proficiency rates on MCAS assessments that exceed the state and district averages, particularly in math and English language arts. In contrast, Mattahunt Elementary and Young Achievers K-8 School have struggled, with less than 15% of students reaching proficiency.
The KIPP Academy Boston Charter School also stands out, with higher math proficiency rates than the district public schools, despite spending less per student. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and demographics may be contributing to the achievement gaps observed across Mattapan's schools. Addressing these disparities and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education will be crucial for the future of this community.
