Paul F Doyon Memorial

Summary:

Paul F Doyon Memorial is an elementary school located in Ipswich, Massachusetts, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade with a total enrollment of 366 students. The school is part of the Ipswich school district, which is ranked 73 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paul F Doyon Memorial has consistently performed well, ranking in the top third of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years. The school's students demonstrated strong academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts (57.5%) and Mathematics (61.59%) compared to the state averages (39.17% and 40.91%, respectively). However, the school's 5th-grade students had lower proficiency rates compared to the 3rd and 4th grades, particularly in Math (45% proficient), suggesting potential areas for improvement in the upper elementary grades.

While Paul F Doyon Memorial maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 10:1 and spends more per student ($20,522) than the state average, the school's student population is predominantly white, with significantly lower percentages of minority students compared to the state average. This racial imbalance may warrant further investigation into the school's diversity and inclusion efforts. Additionally, the performance gaps between male and female students, as well as between white students and their peers in special education and low socioeconomic status groups, indicate the need to examine equity and inclusion practices at the school to ensure all students have equal opportunities to succeed.

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.
