These students did not meet the required standards of the Science portion of the MCAS, compared to the 40% who did.

The number of Attleboro Public Schools District students who failed their Science assessments rose by 5.9% from the previous school year.

Attleboro Public Schools District roughly covers schools within Bristol County and has a main office in Attleboro.

In the 2021-22 school year, 135,538 students took the Science test in Massachusetts with 60% students failing, 13.9% more than the year before.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's 2022 Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), the average scale score for grade 10 English Language Arts was 503, which met the expectation level, while the average scale score for grade 10 Science was 499, which only partially met the expectation level.

Massachusetts students performed better than most of their peers in other states, but their own average scores on a national assessment dropped from 2019 levels.
