Ingalls

Summary:

Ingalls is an elementary school in Lynn, MA that serves 670 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite being part of the Lynn school district, which is ranked 336 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts, Ingalls consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized assessments.

Ingalls has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts, ranking between 822 and 926 out of 914 to 942 schools over the past 10 years. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools for female students, male students, Hispanic students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. However, Ingalls performs relatively better in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 30% of Massachusetts elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years.

Interestingly, Ingalls performs significantly worse than the nearby Swampscott schools (Clarke, Hadley, and Stanley), which are all higher-performing and have 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the challenges facing Ingalls are specific to the Lynn school district and not necessarily due to the local community demographics. Additionally, Ingalls' performance has declined over the past 10 years, indicating a need for comprehensive, data-driven interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
