Barbieri Elementary

Summary:

Barbieri Elementary is a public elementary school in Framingham, Massachusetts, serving 696 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Framingham school district, which is ranked 316 out of 351 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barbieri Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Framingham district and state averages. Barbieri Elementary's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, are also in the bottom 20-30% of Massachusetts elementary schools. However, the school spends approximately $18,894 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools, and has a student-teacher ratio of 13.3, slightly lower than the Framingham district average.

Nearby schools, such as Hemenway, Charlotte A. Dunning, and King Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and rankings compared to Barbieri Elementary, despite being in the same Framingham school district. The consistently low performance of Barbieri Elementary, as well as other schools in the Framingham district, suggests that the district may need to reevaluate its strategies and allocate more resources to support underperforming schools.

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.
