Pentucket Lake Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 743 and 804 out of 932-936 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on MCAS assessments is also below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects.

Pentucket Lake Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 17.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Haverhill district.

Pentucket Lake Elementary's performance on MCAS assessments has declined over the past few years, with the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics decreasing across all grades. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Haverhill district, such as Bradford Elementary, Golden Hill, and Tilton, which have higher MCAS proficiency rates and better overall rankings. These challenges suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its diverse student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
