Goodnow Brothers Elementary School

Q: Is Goodnow Brothers Elementary School a good school?

Goodnow Brothers Elementary School ranks 641 st of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Goodnow Brothers Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marlborough, Massachusetts, serving 784 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and nearby school averages, as well as a consistently low ranking among Massachusetts elementary schools.

Goodnow Brothers' academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally lower than the state and nearby school averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (27.22%) and Mathematics (33.78%) is significantly below the state averages (39.17% and 40.91%, respectively). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Francis J Kane, Richer, and Charles Jaworek, generally perform better than Goodnow Brothers on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These schools also have a more diverse student population, with a lower percentage of Hispanic students compared to Goodnow Brothers. To address these challenges, the school and Marlborough district may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to improve academic outcomes, particularly for underperforming student subgroups.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
