Maurice A Donahue Elementary

Summary:

Maurice A Donahue Elementary is a public elementary school in Holyoke, Massachusetts, serving 360 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 80% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 10.3 to 11.2 students per teacher, Maurice A Donahue Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.06% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 5.88% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39.17% and 40.91%, respectively. This low academic performance is a significant concern for the school and the community it serves.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Kelly Elementary, Morgan Full Service Community School, and Lt Elmer J McMahon Elementary, which also serve predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations, generally outperform Maurice A Donahue Elementary on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
