Over the past 10 years, James Fitzgerald Elementary School has ranked between 241 and 711 out of around 900 Massachusetts elementary schools, with a current ranking of 405 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2023-2024 school year, 42.51% of all students were proficient or better in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts, compared to 35.61% for the Waltham district and 39.17% for Massachusetts. In mathematics, 47.9% of all students were proficient or better, compared to 36.21% for Waltham and 40.91% for the state. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, and it struggles with its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Lincoln-Eliot and Franklin in Newton, which rank in the top 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools, James Fitzgerald Elementary School generally performs better than the Waltham district average but lags behind these higher-performing schools. The school's declining ranking over the past decade and persistent performance gaps suggest that it may need to implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
