R. H. Conwell

Summary:

R. H. Conwell is an elementary school located in Worthington, MA, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 76 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 90.79% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year.

While R. H. Conwell has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally lower than the state average and some nearby schools. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all below the state averages. Additionally, R. H. Conwell ranks 674 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 27% of schools in the state. This is significantly lower than nearby schools like Anne T. Dunphy School in Williamsburg, which ranks 191 out of 928 schools.

The high percentage of white students at R. H. Conwell is in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Leeds Elementary in Northampton, which has 69.13% white, 19.8% Hispanic, and 3.02% Asian students. This lack of diversity may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students at R. H. Conwell. The school's relatively low ranking and declining academic performance may also be related to the Worthington school district's low ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, which could indicate limited funding and resources available to the school.

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.
