Summary:

Linden is an elementary school in Malden, MA that serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 820 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 25.24% White, 19.39% African American, 24.02% Hispanic, and 26.1% Asian students.

Linden's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally on par with or slightly above the Malden district average, but below the state average. The school's ELL students have shown exceptional performance, ranking in the top 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools in 2020-2021. Linden has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Ferryway, Salemwood, and Forestdale.

Linden has experienced a decline in enrollment over the past few years, and the school's racial composition has shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students. The school's performance on MCAS assessments has been inconsistent over the years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic achievement and ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Compared to the nearby Herbert Clark Hoover school in Melrose, which is in a higher-performing district, Linden significantly underperforms across all academic measures.

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.
