Pattengill Elementary School

Summary:

Pattengill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Berkley School District, serving 291 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to nearby schools. Pattengill also has a more diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than the surrounding schools.

Despite having a higher percentage of students from diverse backgrounds, Pattengill Elementary School's academic performance is impressive. In 2023-2024, 58.7% of 3rd graders, 45% of 4th graders, and 50.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, surpassing the state averages of 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates were also higher than the state in all grade levels. This suggests that Pattengill is effectively serving its diverse student population and providing a quality education.

However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.7% in 2019-2020 to 19.1% in 2021-2022. This is an area of concern that the school and Berkley School District should address. Additionally, Pattengill Elementary School has the highest spending per student among the nearby schools, with $18,479 spent per student in 2022-2023, compared to the district average of $15,659 and the state average of around $12,000-$15,000 per student. This higher spending may contribute to the school's academic success, but it is important to ensure that the resources are being used effectively to support student learning.

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.
