Hayden/McFadden

Summary:

Hayden/McFadden is an elementary school in New Bedford, Massachusetts, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grades and subjects.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hayden/McFadden has struggled to improve its academic outcomes. The school's performance gaps between student subgroups, particularly for White, female, and special education students, indicate that it may not be effectively addressing the unique needs of all its populations. Interestingly, some nearby Thomas R. Rodman and Elizabeth Carter Brooks elementary schools in the New Bedford district perform significantly better on state assessments, suggesting that understanding the factors contributing to their relative success could provide valuable insights for improving Hayden/McFadden.

Overall, Hayden/McFadden appears to be facing systemic challenges that go beyond just student demographics or funding levels. Addressing these issues, improving resource allocation, and learning from the successes of nearby schools could be important steps in enhancing the educational experience and outcomes for the school's students.

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.
