Channing Elementary School

Summary:

Channing Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hyde Park, MA, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 189. 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.

Channing Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 706-862 out of 916-942 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is also significantly below the state and Boston district averages across all grades and subjects. Despite spending significantly more per student ($27,936 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, Channing Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic achievement.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Conley Elementary, Bates Elementary, and Kilmer K-8, have higher academic performance and rankings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, instructional practices, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes between Channing Elementary and its neighboring schools.

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.
