Summary:
The city of Deerfield, New Hampshire is home to a single elementary school, the Deerfield Community School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 528 students. The school is part of the Deerfield School District, which is ranked 58 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Deerfield Community School is a standout performer, consistently outpacing the state average in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 54% of Deerfield students were proficient or better in math compared to 41% statewide, and 62% were proficient in reading compared to 53% statewide. The school has been ranked in the top quarter of New Hampshire elementary schools in recent years, placing 66th out of 234 schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
However, the Deerfield Community School's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 95.45% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 10.23%, well below the state average. These factors suggest the school may not be providing an equally inclusive environment for students of color or those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and could be an area for the school to address.
