State Gives Three Foxborough Schools Level 1 Status

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A new report has the three Foxborough elementary public schools among the top-ranked in the state.

In their latest report, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education commended Burrell Elementary, Igo Elementary, and Taylor Elementary Schools for earning a Level 1 accountability and assistance level.

All schools in the state and districts are classified into five levels with one being the highest and five being the lowest.

On the Cumulative Progress and Performance Index (PPI), Burrell Elementary received a score of 89 out of 99, while Igo Elementary earned a 54, and Taylor earned a 76.

The progress and performance index combines information about narrowing proficiency gaps, growth, and graduation and dropout rates over multiple years into a single number, according to the DESE. All districts, schools, and student subgroups receive an annual PPI based on improvement over a two-year period and a cumulative score based on four years of data. For a group to be considered to be making progress toward narrowing proficiency gaps, its cumulative PPI must be 75 or higher.

Ahern Middle and Foxborough High School were named Level 2 schools. Since most districts are classified by its lowest performing schools, Foxborough was classified as a Level 2 district.
