Lillian M Jacobs performs well academically, ranking in the top third of Massachusetts elementary schools in recent years. In 2023-2024, the school had 53.09% of students proficient or better in ELA and 50% in Math, both above the state averages. The school also ranks very highly for its performance with special education and low-income students, placing in the top 20% of MA elementary schools for these subgroups. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 and high per-student spending of $24,576, the school appears to be investing heavily in its educational program and staffing.

While Lillian M Jacobs has maintained a consistent 3-star rating, its student body is overwhelmingly white at 88.4%, which is quite different from the diversity seen in nearby Beechwood Knoll Elementary in Quincy, where only 30% of students are white. This could be an area for the school to examine and consider ways to better reflect the racial makeup of the broader community. Overall, Lillian M Jacobs appears to be a high-performing elementary school that is effectively serving its student population.

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.
