Summary:
The Henniker School District in New Hampshire is home to a single elementary school, Henniker Community School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has consistently fallen below the state average on standardized assessments in Mathematics, Reading, and Science.
Henniker Community School's statewide ranking places it 172nd out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects range from 16% to 52% in Mathematics and 20% to 51% in Reading, compared to state averages of 41% and 53%, respectively. Additionally, only 15% of students are proficient or better in Science, well below the state average of 36%. This consistent underperformance suggests the school may face challenges in providing effective instruction and support for its students.
The school's student population is predominantly white, at 93%, which may limit the diversity of experiences and perspectives available to students. Furthermore, the low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 18.25%, indicates the school may serve a relatively affluent community, potentially contributing to the observed performance gaps. These demographic and socioeconomic factors, combined with the school's resource allocation, raise questions about equity and the ability of Henniker Community School to effectively support the needs of all its students.
