William S Greene

Summary:

William S Greene is an elementary school located in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving 721 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Fall River school district, which is ranked 320 out of 351 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

William S Greene has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like South and James Tansey. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. William S Greene's student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, also perform significantly worse than their peers statewide.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, William S Greene has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or statewide ranking over the past several years. This lack of progress is concerning and may require a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and interventions. Nearby schools, such as Gardner and South, consistently outperform William S Greene on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond student demographics may be contributing to the performance gap.

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.
