Mary M Lynch

Summary:

Mary M Lynch is an elementary school in Springfield, MA that serves 219 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mary M Lynch elementary schools in Massachusetts, with academic performance significantly below the state average on MCAS assessments.

Despite spending more per student than the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Mary M Lynch has seen a decline in proficiency rates over the past few years. The school's Hispanic students perform better than the overall student population, but other subgroups, such as female, male, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, perform in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools with similar demographic profiles, such as Frank H Freedman and Indian Orchard Elementary, generally outperform Mary M Lynch on MCAS assessments. Additionally, the nearby Springfield Preparatory Charter School significantly outperforms the district schools, suggesting that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the challenges faced by Mary M Lynch.

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.
