Elizabeth G Lyons Elementary

Summary:

Elizabeth G Lyons Elementary is a public elementary school in Randolph, MA, serving 285 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Randolph school district, which is ranked 312 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elizabeth G Lyons Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American (43.16%) and Hispanic (17.19%) students compared to the state average, which is a key differentiating factor. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28%) and Mathematics (40%) were below the state averages of 39.17% and 40.91%, respectively. While the school performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic students, it struggles to support other subgroups, such as male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Randolph district and surrounding areas, Elizabeth G Lyons Elementary generally underperforms. For example, the nearby Martin E Young Elementary and Margaret L Donovan schools have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's diverse student population and higher spending per student of $19,572 suggest potential opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the achievement gaps and improve overall academic performance.

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.
