Emma L Miller Elementary School

Summary:

Emma L Miller Elementary School is a small public elementary school located in Savoy, MA, serving 40 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. Despite its small size, the school has faced significant challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments and a declining statewide ranking compared to other Massachusetts elementary schools.

The school's key metrics paint a concerning picture. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are around 10-30%, well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 40th out of 928 schools in 2012-2013 to 836th out of 928 in 2022-2023, indicating a relative decline in performance. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 4.9, higher than the nearby Clarksburg, North Adams, and other surrounding districts.

Interestingly, Emma L Miller Elementary School stands out for its racial homogeneity, with 95% of its students identifying as white, in contrast to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Clarksburg Elementary, Colegrove Park Elementary, and Rowe Elementary. The school's small size, low proficiency rates, and high student-teacher ratio may present challenges in providing a well-rounded and high-quality education for its students, and the school may need to explore ways to address these issues to improve student outcomes.

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.
