Easthampton High

Summary:

Easthampton High is a public high school serving around 370 students in grades 9-12 in Easthampton, Massachusetts, which is part of the Easthampton School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35%), Mathematics (39.51%), and Science (40%) all lagging behind the state. Compared to nearby schools like Hopkins Academy and Northampton High, Easthampton High's performance is mixed, outperforming some schools but falling behind higher-performing institutions.

Despite a slightly above-average four-year graduation rate of 91.8%, Easthampton High's dropout rate of 6.1% is higher than the state average and some nearby schools. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with special education students performing better than other subgroups, such as Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of its more disadvantaged student populations to improve overall academic outcomes.

Interestingly, Easthampton High's student population is becoming less diverse, with a decreasing percentage of non-white students over the past few years, in contrast to the increasing diversity seen in some nearby schools like Hampden Charter School of Science East and Holyoke High. This trend, combined with the school's academic underperformance and uneven support for different student subgroups, suggests that Easthampton High may need to implement more effective strategies to improve its overall quality and better serve the needs of all its students.

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.
