Dever Elementary School

Summary:

Dever Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dorchester, MA, serving 374 students in grades PK-6. 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.

Dever Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and Boston district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance on MCAS assessments varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing significantly worse than their peers. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $29,000, Dever Elementary School's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.

In comparison, some nearby schools, such as Everett Elementary School and Mather Elementary School, demonstrate relatively stronger performance on MCAS assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Understanding the factors contributing to the success of these schools could provide valuable insights for Dever Elementary School as it seeks to address its persistent challenges.

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.

The school has no clue how to deal with students with disabilities. Do Not enroll your child here!!! The only family engagement from this school is when they start calling your every day to report your disabled child is too much for them and they will not follow the IEP!!!! Close Quote

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.
