Harvard-Kent Elementary School

Q: Is Harvard-Kent Elementary School a good school?

Harvard-Kent Elementary School ranks 465 th of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Harvard-Kent Elementary School is a public elementary school in Charlestown, MA that serves 342 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has shown improvements in academic performance in recent years, with its MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceeding the Boston district average.

Harvard-Kent Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 8.8 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby schools like Eliot K-8 Innovation School (14.2) and McKay K-8 School (10.8). The school also has the highest per-student spending among nearby schools, at $29,741 per student in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to $24,377 at Eliot K-8 Innovation School and $24,520 at Otis Elementary School.

While Harvard-Kent Elementary School has struggled to achieve consistently high academic performance across all student subgroups, its performance for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, has been notably stronger than the overall school performance and the Boston district average. This suggests the school may be able to leverage its diverse student population and targeted support for specific subgroups to improve its overall academic outcomes and continue closing the achievement gap with higher-performing nearby schools like Warren-Prescott K-8 School.

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.
