Young Achievers K-8 School

Summary:

Young Achievers K-8 School is a public elementary school located in Mattapan, Massachusetts, serving 483 students in grades PK-8. The school has a predominantly minority student body, with 42.65% African American and 51.55% Hispanic students.

Despite spending $27,472 per student, which is higher than the state average, Young Achievers K-8 School consistently performs below the state and district averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments. In 2023-2024, only 11.68% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 11.74% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.17% and 40.91% statewide, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as 0% proficiency in 7th grade ELA and 5th grade Math. Additionally, Young Achievers K-8 School has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts, ranking between 855-916 out of 916 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

While the nearby Mattahunt Elementary, Haley Pilot School, and Mildred Avenue K-8 School also perform below state averages, they generally outperform Young Achievers K-8 School on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the school's persistent low performance, which has shown little to no improvement over the past decade.

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.
