Westhampton Elementary School

Summary:

Westhampton Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Westhampton, MA, with a student population of just 104 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, the school stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Westhampton Elementary has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.2 to 7.6 over the past 3 years, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 8.1 to 12.8. The school also spends significantly more per student than the state average, with $21,666 spent per student in 2020-2021 compared to the state average of around $17,000-$23,000 for the nearby schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, dropping from 55th out of 942 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 385th out of 916 in 2023-2024, despite its strong academic performance.

Interestingly, while Westhampton Elementary School outperforms the state averages, many of the nearby schools, such as Mountain View School, Bridge Street, and Littleville Elementary, lag behind the state averages on MCAS assessments. This suggests that Westhampton Elementary may be an outlier in its strong academic performance compared to the surrounding Westhampton area.

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.
