English High School

Summary:

English High School is a public high school in Boston, Massachusetts, serving 651 students in grades 7-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 4.3% White, 34.41% African American, 57.76% Hispanic, 0.77% Asian, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Despite its diverse student body, English High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts high schools over the past decade, with a low School Digger rating of 0 or 1 out of 5 stars. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 76.9% to 84.1%, which is lower than the state and district averages, and its dropout rate has been relatively high, ranging from 7.6% to 13.8%. Proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 21.78% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.12% in Boston and 56.86% statewide.

The challenges faced by English High School are not unique, as nearby schools such as Fenway High School, Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, and Margarita Muniz Academy also struggle with low academic performance and rankings. However, some schools in the Boston Public School district, such as Boston Latin Academy and Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers, perform significantly better, indicating that high-performing schools can exist within the same 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.
