City View

Summary:

City View is an elementary school in Worcester, MA serving grades PK-6 with 430 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and smaller percentages of White, African American, Asian, Native American, and multi-racial students.

Despite spending more per student than nearby schools, City View significantly underperforms the Worcester district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS assessments across all grades and subjects. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years. Additionally, certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, are performing particularly poorly compared to their peers statewide.

The relatively high student-teacher ratio at City View compared to nearby schools may be contributing to the academic struggles, as teachers may be overburdened. Overall, significant improvements are needed across multiple areas - academic achievement, equity, resource allocation, and staffing - to put the school on a path towards better outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
