Summary:
The Hillsboro-Deering Cooperative School District in New Hampshire has only one elementary school, Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 437 students.
While Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School has a relatively small student population, it has faced some significant challenges in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 151st out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 166th in 2023-2024. Its academic performance is also below state averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science all trailing the statewide figures. Additionally, over 37% of Hillsboro-Deering Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need population that may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
Despite these challenges, Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School does have some strengths, including a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1 and a diverse student population that is 91% White, with small percentages of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. However, the school's overall performance and declining trajectory suggest that the district and school leaders may need to implement targeted strategies to improve academic outcomes and ensure that all students at Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School receive a high-quality education.
