Dr. Janice Adie Day School

Summary:

Dr. Janice Adie Day School is a small alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Lowell, MA, a district ranked 302 out of 351 in the state. With just 55 students, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4.2 to 4.5 students per teacher over the past 3 years. However, the school's academic performance is a major concern, with 0% of students proficient or better on the MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science - significantly lower than the Lowell district and the state of Massachusetts.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $35,330 to $40,854 over the past 3 years, the school is not seeing commensurate academic outcomes. Compared to nearby alternative schools, Dr. Janice Adie Day School's performance lags behind, with Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing also struggling with low proficiency rates, while Prospect Hill Academy Charter School significantly outperforms the state averages.

The small size of the school and its diverse student population, with 32-37% white students, 12-18% African American students, 25-31% Hispanic students, and 14-18% Asian students over the past 3 years, may present unique challenges. Addressing the root causes of the low academic achievement should be a top priority for the school and Lowell district.

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.
