Conley Elementary School

Summary:

Conley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roslindale, MA that serves 163 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Boston Public School District, which is ranked 305 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conley Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.54% of Conley students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.17% statewide and 26.91% in Boston. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade, where only 7.14% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 0% were proficient or better in Math. Conley also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile for African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($30,656 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Conley Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools in the Boston Public School District, such as Channing Elementary, Sumner Elementary, and Mozart Elementary, also struggle academically, while some schools like Philbrick Elementary and Bates Elementary perform significantly better, suggesting that there may be effective instructional and support strategies that Conley could learn from and implement.

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.
