Summary:
Strong Foundations Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in Pembroke, New Hampshire. With a total enrollment of 314 students, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 86.31% of students identifying as White, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, a concerning trend that has contributed to the school's declining ranking among New Hampshire elementary schools over the past three years.
The school's academic struggles are evident in its proficiency rates, which range from 34% to 46% in mathematics, reading, and science, compared to state averages of 41% to 53%. This underperformance has led to Strong Foundations Charter School being ranked between 142nd and 203rd out of 233 to 237 elementary schools in the state over the past three years, earning it a rating of 1 to 2 out of 5 stars. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 23.89% suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the student population.
Overall, the data indicates that Strong Foundations Charter School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's racial homogeneity, below-average academic performance, and declining rankings suggest that targeted interventions and strategies are needed to improve student learning outcomes and support the success of the school community.
