Kenny Elementary School

Summary:

Kenny Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dorchester, MA, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 316. 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.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($26,635 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Kenny Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's MCAS proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state and Boston district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, particularly its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who consistently perform well below their peers at the state and district levels.

Nearby schools, such as Greenwood Sarah K-8 School, Mather Elementary School, and Murphy K-8 School, also struggle with low academic performance, but they have different student demographics and resource allocation patterns that could provide insights into potential strategies for improvement. The persistent challenges faced by Kenny Elementary School suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of evidence-based strategies to address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
