E N White Elementary

Summary:

E N White Elementary is a public elementary school in Holyoke, Massachusetts, serving 413 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized assessments, with only 21.43% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15.47% in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year.

E N White Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its diverse student population. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade, with only 15.79% proficient or better in ELA and 7.14% in Math. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 16 over the past three years. Nearby schools in the Holyoke district, such as Lt Elmer J McMahon Elementary and H.B. Lawrence School, also demonstrate similarly low academic achievement.

However, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Fairview Elementary in Chicopee and Mosier in South Hadley, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, despite serving student populations with similar demographic profiles. This suggests that the challenges facing E N White Elementary may be systemic within the Holyoke school district and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes.

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.
