About the School

At the William Monroe Trotter K-6 School, we hold dear that all students are learners capable of developing critical thought and respectfully working together to create a society where all are welcomed and treated with dignity and respect. As a K-6 school we are committed to ensuring students have developed scholarly habits and leadership skills that allow them to challenge the status quo, learn to use their collective voice and the power of the pen to impact change in their world. We are committed to challenging one another to be greater through our collaboration, reflection and serve as examples for our community! 

School Performance

Student performance data displayed below is from Next Generation MCAS results. For more data on schools, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) website. For schools with multiple campuses, the data below represents all schools in that network, not just the single school, unless otherwise noted. If data is not shown, it is not available for that school (e.g. the school might not serve any tested grades, or be too small to publicly release its scores). 

IMPORTANT NOTE: DESE did not issue school, district, or state accountability determinations for the 2019-2020 school year due to the cancellation of state assessments and school closures related to COVID-19. As a result, there is no student performance data available from the state for school year 2019-2020.
