Letourneau Elementary School

Summary:

Letourneau Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving 597 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years, with particularly low performance for certain student subgroups.

Letourneau's academic performance is well below the state average, with proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 25.45%, compared to the state average of 39.17% and the Fall River district average of 19.52%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 17.2 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools in the Fall River district.

When comparing Letourneau to other elementary schools in the Fall River district, it consistently performs worse academically. For example, the nearby Spencer Borden Elementary School outperforms Letourneau by a significant margin, ranking 433 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023, compared to Letourneau's ranking of 802. These disparities in performance suggest that Letourneau may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
