Summary:
The city of Bartlett, New Hampshire is home to a single public elementary school, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 189 students. The school's student population is predominantly white, with over 93% of students identifying as such, and a significant portion (31.22%) coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School has faced challenges in recent years, with its performance on the NH SAS assessments declining and falling below the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 29% in mathematics, 45% in reading, and 26% in science, compared to the state averages of 41%, 53%, and 36%, respectively. This underperformance has led to the school's ranking dropping from 123 out of 233 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 193 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's small student-teacher ratio of 9:1, the lack of racial diversity and the economic challenges faced by a significant portion of the student population may be contributing factors to the school's academic struggles. The Bartlett School District will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.
