Leverett Elementary

Summary:

Leverett Elementary is a public elementary school serving 141 students in grades PK-6 in the Leverett District, which is ranked 244 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Leverett Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student, its performance has declined over the years. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 28.95% of students proficient or better in MCAS Next Generation Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.91%. However, the school performs better in science, with 64.71% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 41.95%. Leverett Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined, from 138 out of 934 elementary schools in 2017-2018 (4-star rating) to 523 out of 916 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), placing the school in the bottom half of elementary schools in Massachusetts.

Interestingly, Shutesbury Elementary, a nearby school, has maintained a 4-star rating and higher test scores, in contrast to Leverett Elementary's declining performance. Additionally, the high percentage of white students at Leverett Elementary (85.82%) is notable when compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Crocker Farm Elementary in Amherst, which has only 44.06% white students. While these factors may present challenges, the school's low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in mathematics.

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.
