Summary:
The Merrimack Valley School District in New Hampshire is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals that Boscawen Elementary School and Salisbury Elementary School are the standout performers in the district, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.
Boscawen Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and reading across all grade levels, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Salisbury Elementary School also excels, particularly in reading proficiency, with 71% of students proficient or better compared to the district's 46% and the state's 53%. These two schools have the lowest free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.
In contrast, Penacook Elementary School and Loudon Elementary School generally score below the district and state averages in both mathematics and reading. The student racial makeup across the schools is relatively homogeneous, with the majority of students being white. Overall, the Merrimack Valley School District as a whole underperforms the state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency, which may be an area of concern for the district to address.
