Charlotte A Dunning has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 52.42% White, 29.79% Hispanic, and 7.16% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally lower than the state and Framingham district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 38.5% of all grades were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 29.38% were proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 244 out of 914 schools in 2014-2015 to 593 out of 916 schools in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, Charlotte A Dunning's academic performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 272 out of 446 MA elementary schools for Hispanic students, but only 568 out of 753 for White students. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing targeted support for underperforming groups. Despite being located in the same district, Charlotte A Dunning is surrounded by several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Brown in Natick and Happy Hollow School in Wayland, which have significantly better academic outcomes and statewide rankings.

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.
