Wm P Connery

Summary:

Wm P Connery is an elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 532 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools based on the statewide Wm P Connery ranking, with significantly lower proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments compared to state and district averages.

Wm P Connery has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12:1 to 13.3:1, and higher per-student spending compared to the state average. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, as the school's student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, all perform significantly below their peers statewide.

Despite being in close proximity to several other elementary schools in the Lynn district, Wm P Connery continues to lag behind its nearby peers, suggesting that the school may be facing unique challenges that are not shared by its neighbors. The persistent low performance of the school, coupled with the significant disparities in academic achievement among its student subgroups, indicates that a comprehensive, targeted approach may be required to address the unique needs of the Wm P Connery student population.

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.
