Manthala George Junior School

Summary:

Manthala George Junior School is an elementary school in Brockton, Massachusetts, serving 794 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past decade, with students scoring significantly below state and district averages on standardized assessments.

Despite spending more per student ($15,861 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Manthala George Junior School's academic outcomes have not improved. The school's student-teacher ratio is also higher than the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools in the Brockton district, such as John F. Kennedy and Mary E. Baker School, Manthala George Junior School performs significantly worse on standardized assessments and has a lower statewide ranking.

The school's challenges appear to be multifaceted, with potential contributing factors including its location in a low-income, high-poverty district, as well as the high percentage of students from historically underserved racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve academic outcomes for all students at Manthala George Junior School.

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.
