Gardner Pilot Academy

Summary:

Gardner Pilot Academy is an elementary school in Allston, MA that serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Boston Public School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with smaller percentages of White, African American, and Asian students.

Gardner Pilot Academy consistently ranks in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with below-average performance on MCAS assessments compared to the state and district. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively high, and it spends significantly more per student than the state average. Nearby schools like Lyon K-8 School and Winship Elementary generally outperform Gardner Pilot Academy on academic metrics and have higher overall rankings.

While Gardner Pilot Academy's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is relatively stronger compared to the school's overall performance, the school still struggles to support other subgroups, such as male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 25-30% of Massachusetts elementary schools. The school's high per-student spending may indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve student outcomes, particularly for its lower-performing subgroups.

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 needs more attention regarding bullying and putting more attention to the students complaints.
The school doesn’t take immediate action when a parent have an issue regarding their kids. Specially when children are being bother by another student. 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.
