Adams Elementary School

Summary:

Adams Elementary School is a public elementary school in East Boston, MA serving 249 students in grades PK-6. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 73.9% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($31,169 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Adams Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools, with proficiency rates well below the state and Boston Public School District averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.55% of students were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 39.17%, and only 25.86% were proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.91%. The school's performance has been stagnant or declining over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby Otis Elementary School and Harvard-Kent Elementary School, which are also part of the Boston Public School District, outperform Adams Elementary School on academic measures, suggesting that systemic issues within the district may be impacting the school's ability to improve.

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.

A wonderful school! This small, diverse school is in East Boston, MA. I believe that the teachers and administration are very decicated and caring people. Parent involvement is encouraged and gratefully welcomed. My son attends this school and I would not want him at any other school! 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.
