Brockton & Abington

Comparing brockton & Abington
schools and student bodies

Cris-crossed by multiple residential streets, the Brockton-Abington boundary is longer and more porous than that between Boston and Needham. At the same time, Brockton and Abington feature even starker demographic contrasts.

For students living on one of the streets crossed by this boundary, educational opportunity varies greatly by which side of the street they live on. Students in Brockton are more likely than not to attend a school designated as underperforming by the state, while no such schools exist in Abington. Graduation rates and test scores vary accordingly, while Abington (like Needham) shows worrisome internal opportunity gaps.
