Elementary Schools in Hinsdale School District

The Hinsdale School District in New Hampshire has only one elementary school, Hinsdale Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science significantly below the state averages across all grade levels.

Hinsdale Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 229th out of 233 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 200th out of 234 in 2023-2024, with a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates ranged from 22% to 41% in mathematics, 32% to 37% in reading, and 22% in science, compared to the state averages of 41% to 53% in mathematics, 50% to 56% in reading, and 36% in science. This trend suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement.

Despite the academic challenges, Hinsdale Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 85.89% White, 0.4% African American, 2.82% Hispanic, 0.81% Asian, 0.81% Native American, 0.4% Pacific Islander, and 8.87% two or more races. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (39.11%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students, but the school's performance suggests that additional support and resources may be needed to address the unique needs of its diverse student body.
