Erving Elementary

Summary:

Erving Elementary is a public elementary school serving 129 students in grades PK-6 in the town of Erving, Massachusetts, which is part of the Erving School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.87%) and Mathematics (24.19%) were lower than the state averages (39.17% and 40.91%, respectively).

Erving Elementary's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking from 565 out of 926 schools in 2013-2014 to 605 out of 916 schools in 2023-2024. The school's rating has also dropped from 2 stars to 1 star during this period. When compared to nearby schools, such as Leverett Elementary and Gill Elementary, Erving Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, which has increased from $33,225 in 2018-2019 to $41,150 in 2020-2021, its academic performance remains below the state average. Additionally, Erving Elementary's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, white students, and special education students, are concerning, as the school ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools for these groups in recent years. These findings suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and addressing the unique needs of its student population to improve academic outcomes.

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.
