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 395 Massachusetts districts is 46.6 percent.

Academic Performance & Context
MCAS results, enrollment, and accountability data for the Plainville schools 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. The local district serves grades PreK to 6, so a four-year graduation rate is reported by King Philip Regional, not by Plainville.
