High needs is a state count, not a score. It includes every student who is from a low income household, learning English, or receiving special education services, and counts each one only once. The median across all 396 Massachusetts districts is 46.7 percent.

Academic Performance & Context
Because Sippican School serves Pre-K through grade 6, the district has no high school graduation rate of its own: Marion students earn their diplomas at Old Rochester Regional High School. MCAS results and accountability data for Sippican are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
