Clap Elementary School

Summary:

Clap Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Dorchester, MA that serves 110 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.

Clap Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 635-903 out of 932-942 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is significantly below the state and Boston district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.18% of Clap students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.17% statewide and 26.91% in Boston. The school's low-performing student subgroups, such as male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, rank in the bottom 10-20% of Massachusetts elementary schools.

Despite Clap Elementary School's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Everett Elementary, Perkins Elementary, and Winthrop Elementary, the academic performance remains low. The nearby schools generally perform better on MCAS assessments, but even they struggle to match the state-level performance, indicating a broader challenge within the Boston district.

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.
