Boston Renaissance Charter Public School

Summary:

Boston Renaissance Charter Public School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hyde Park, MA, with a student population of 922. The school is part of the Boston Renaissance Charter Public school district, which is ranked 329 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending approximately $22,057 per student, which is higher than the state average, Boston Renaissance Charter Public School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with only 22.99% of students proficient or better in ELA and 20.38% proficient or better in Math across all grades in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Disabled students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools.

When comparing Boston Renaissance Charter Public School to nearby traditional public schools, such as Chittick Elementary School, the charter school's performance is generally lower. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student performance, and that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school culture, may play a more significant role in driving 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.
