Guest columnists Nykole Roche and others: Urges Northampton schools to offer equal child care services >Published: 7/18/2021 7:00:33 PM
Let’s do a quick comparison. According to the Department of Early and Secondary Education, Leeds Elementary School has the second-lowest percentage of students of color, compared to Bridge Street, where Black, Indigenious and people of color students represent 43% of our community, and Jackson Street School, where they represent 36.3%.
Non-native English speakers and English learners are a combined 28% of the Bridge Street population and 20.3% of the Jackson Street population, but just 12% of Leeds students. High-needs and low-income students are 57.1% and 44.2%, respectively, of the Bridge Street student body, far larger percentages than at Leeds (42%; 29.7%). Ryan Road has more economically disadvantaged students than Leeds. And a disproportionate number of children with disabilities are Bridge Street students.
