Grew Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Boston and Massachusetts averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments. In 2023-2024, only 25.84% of Grew students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 26.91% in Boston and 39.17% statewide. In math, only 21.35% of Grew students were proficient, compared to 26.39% in Boston and 40.91% statewide. However, Grew's African American and Hispanic students outperform their peers in Boston and the state in certain grade levels and subjects. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends significantly more per student ($26,701 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average.

Grew Elementary is located near several other Boston public elementary schools, such as Bates, Roosevelt K-8, and Channing, which generally outperform Grew on academic metrics. The nearby Boston Renaissance Charter Public School also underperforms the state average, suggesting broader systemic challenges in the area. Despite these challenges, Grew's resources and subgroup strengths indicate potential for improvement if the right strategies and interventions are implemented effectively.

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.
