Summary:

Flagg Street is an elementary school located in Worcester, Massachusetts, serving 359 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Worcester school district, which is ranked 308 out of 351 districts in the state.

Flagg Street consistently outperforms the Worcester district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 48.13% of Flagg Street students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 22.91% for the Worcester district and 39.17% for Massachusetts. The school also performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, with its Hispanic students ranking 22nd out of 446 Massachusetts elementary schools in ELA and its low socioeconomic status students ranking 99th out of 757 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023.

While Flagg Street outperforms the Worcester district and the state, some of the nearby schools, such as West Tatnuck and Nelson Place, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Flagg Street's consistent improvement, from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 4-star rating in 2022-2023, and its ability to maintain a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15 to 15.8 over the past three school years, may contribute to its academic success.

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.
