Mario Umana Academy

Summary:

Mario Umana Academy is an elementary school in East Boston, MA that serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Boston Public School District. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the Boston and Massachusetts averages.

Mario Umana Academy spends significantly more per student ($26,091 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, but these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools in the Boston Public School District, such as Kennedy Patrick J Elementary School, McKay K-8 School, and O'Donnell Elementary School, also struggle academically and have similar low-performing profiles to Mario Umana Academy, suggesting that the challenges facing the school are not unique and may be systemic within the district.

However, the Alighieri Dante Montessori School, located about 0.5 miles from Mario Umana Academy, has a different educational approach and appears to be performing better academically than the school. This highlights the potential impact that alternative educational models can have on student outcomes, and may provide valuable insights for improving the performance of Mario Umana Academy and similar schools within the Boston Public School District.

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.
