Summary

Conley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roslindale, MA that serves 151 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Boston school district, which is ranked 298 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conley Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.22% of Conley Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.53% statewide and 29.27% in the Boston district. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with rankings for subgroups like female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 25-30% of Massachusetts elementary schools.

Despite the high per-student spending of $30,656 in 2020-2021 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 in 2023-2024, Conley Elementary School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past several years. When compared to nearby schools like Mozart Elementary, Philbrick Elementary, and Bates Elementary, which are all within a 1-mile radius and consistently outperform Conley on MCAS assessments, it becomes clear that the challenges faced by Conley Elementary School are specific to the school itself and not solely due to district-level factors.
