Frederick C Murphy

Summary:

Frederick C Murphy is an elementary school located in Weymouth, Massachusetts, serving 279 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Weymouth School District, which is ranked 174 out of 351 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Frederick C Murphy's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Weymouth district and Massachusetts state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40%) and Mathematics (45%) are similar to the Weymouth district (40.13% and 38.28%, respectively) and the state (39.17% and 40.91%, respectively). However, the school's performance in Science (43.18%) is higher than the Weymouth district (36.25%) and the state (41.95%). Notably, the school's 3rd-grade students outperform the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

One of the school's strengths is the strong academic performance of its Hispanic students, who consistently rank among the top 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools in English Language Arts. This suggests the school may have effective strategies or programs in place to support the achievement of this student population. However, the school's special education students have consistently ranked in the bottom third of Massachusetts elementary schools, indicating a potential area for improvement. When compared to nearby schools, such as Academy Avenue and Liberty in Braintree, Frederick C Murphy demonstrates slightly lower academic results across multiple subject areas and grade levels, providing opportunities for the school to learn from its higher-performing peers.

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.
