Lee Elementary

Summary:

Lee Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lee, Massachusetts, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 83.58% White, 10.56% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Academically, Lee Elementary's performance on the MCAS Next Generation tests is generally lower than the state averages across all grades and subjects, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts. However, the school excels in 3rd-grade Mathematics, with a proficiency rate significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with stronger results for Special Education, Low Socio-Economic Status, and Disabled students, but weaker performance for White students compared to their peers statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Stearns, Farmington River Elementary, and Crosby, Lee Elementary generally performs better, though one exception is Williams Elementary in Pittsfield, which outperforms Lee Elementary across all grades and subjects. Lee Elementary's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its relatively stronger performance for certain student subgroups.

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.
