Hennigan K-8 School

Summary:

Hennigan K-8 School is a public elementary school located in Jamaica Plain, MA, serving 509 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Boston school district, which is ranked 305 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hennigan K-8 School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and Boston district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.63% of Hennigan K-8 students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39.17% statewide and 26.91% in Boston. In Math, the proficiency rate was just 4.1%, compared to 40.91% statewide and 26.39% in Boston. The nearby Curley K-8 School, Tobin K-8 School, and Mendell Elementary School generally outperform Hennigan K-8 School in academic metrics.

Hennigan K-8 School serves a high-poverty student population, with the school ranking in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools for students of low socioeconomic status. The school spends significantly more per student ($27,994 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's high spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution, and that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school culture, may need to be addressed to drive meaningful improvements.

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.
