Sumner Elementary School

Q: Is Sumner Elementary School a good school?

Sumner Elementary School ranks 624 th of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Sumner Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roslindale, MA, serving 538 students in grades PK-6. The school has a diverse student population, with over 55% Hispanic, 23% White, and 15% African American students.

Despite its diverse enrollment, Sumner Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past decade, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on MCAS assessments is significantly below the state and Boston district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.77% of Sumner students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.17% statewide and 26.91% in Boston.

Sumner's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, performing in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools. The school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that resources may not be effectively allocated to improve academic outcomes. Compared to nearby Lyndon K-8 School, Bates Elementary School, and Mozart Elementary School, all of which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings, Sumner faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance.

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.
