The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.79% to 67.57% over the past three years, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Henry Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 17.8, lower than the surrounding schools.

While Henry Elementary School faces challenges, some of the nearby schools, such as Roosevelt Charter Academy and Twain Elementary School, have even lower academic performance on the CMAS assessments. This suggests that the issues faced by Henry Elementary may be common across the region. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, focusing on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community to support student success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
