Summary:

Gardner High is a public high school serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 804 students in Gardner, Massachusetts, which is part of the Gardner school district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it below the state average in overall academic performance.

Gardner High's students have underperformed compared to the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 89.2% to 96.9%, and its dropout rate has also varied, from a low of 2.2% to a high of 6.9%. Compared to nearby schools, such as Oakmont Regional High School and Narragansett Regional High, Gardner High's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency levels.

Gardner High's per-student spending is relatively high compared to the state average, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for the school. Additionally, the school has experienced a slight decline in enrollment over the past few years, which could be a concern for its long-term sustainability and resource allocation. Overall, Gardner High faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, fluctuating graduation and dropout rates, and a need for targeted interventions and improvements to better support student success.

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.
