Blackstone Elementary School

Summary:

Blackstone Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boston, MA that serves 537 students in grades PK-6. Despite its diverse student population, the school consistently performs significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests, ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts.

Blackstone Elementary School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 7.95% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7.02% proficient or better in Math, compared to 26.91% and 26.39% respectively in the Boston school district. The school has been ranked in the bottom 5-10% of all Massachusetts elementary schools for several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This poor performance extends across student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students.

When compared to nearby schools, the challenges at Blackstone Elementary become even more apparent. For example, Quincy Elementary School, just 0.61 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates and is ranked in the top 30% of Massachusetts elementary schools. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $29,533, Blackstone has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or statewide ranking over the past several years, suggesting that more comprehensive strategies may be needed to address the underlying issues.

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.
