Summary:
The Lawrence Family Development Charter (District) in Massachusetts consists of a single elementary school, Lawrence Family Development Charter School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 854 students.
The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, only 30.72% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 39.17%, and only 20.96% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.91%. The school's low ranking, placing 754th out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools, and its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, further highlight the need for improvement in student outcomes.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $14,906, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 20.2, which is slightly higher than the state average, the school's consistently low academic performance suggests that additional targeted support and interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and provide a high-quality education for all students, regardless of their background.
