Winship Elementary School

Summary:

Winship Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brighton, MA, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 338. The school is part of the Boston school district, which is ranked 305 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winship Elementary consistently outperforms the Boston district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 53.99% of Winship students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26.91% in Boston and 39.17% statewide. In Mathematics, 52.44% of Winship students were proficient or better, compared to 26.39% in Boston and 40.91% statewide. Winship's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as ranking 47th out of 446 Massachusetts elementary schools for Hispanic students in English Language Arts, and 77th out of 753 schools for White students in the same subject.

While Winship Elementary outperforms the Boston district and the state, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Baldwin Early Learning Pilot Academy, Gardner Pilot Academy, Edison K-8 School, and Lyon K-8 School, generally perform below Winship and the state averages. This suggests that Winship may be an outlier within the Boston district in terms of academic achievement.

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.
