Emily G Wetherbee

Summary:

Emily G Wetherbee is an elementary school located in Lawrence, MA that serves grades K-8 with a student population of 495. The school is part of the Lawrence school district, which is ranked 340 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Emily G Wetherbee consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments compared to state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly low for special education students. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than nearby schools, Emily G Wetherbee has not been able to translate these resources into significantly better academic outcomes.

The challenges faced by Emily G Wetherbee appear to be systemic within the Lawrence school district, as other nearby traditional public schools also perform poorly compared to state averages. However, alternative educational models like the Lawrence Family Development Charter School and Community Day Charter Public School demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that addressing the unique needs of the student population may be key to improving educational outcomes at Emily G Wetherbee.

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.
