Summary:
The Northumberland School District has only one elementary school, Groveton Elementary School, which serves grades K-5. The school has a student population of 127 and a predominantly White (98.43%) racial makeup. While Groveton Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 202 out of 233 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 130 out of 234 in 2023-2024, its academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates above the state average in 3rd-grade Mathematics but below the state averages in overall Mathematics, Reading, and Science.
Groveton Elementary's high free/reduced lunch rate of 52.76% suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 indicates relatively small class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning and engagement. This could be a strength that the school can leverage to improve student outcomes.
Overall, while Groveton Elementary School faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and statewide ranking, it also has potential strengths, such as small class sizes and a focus on serving economically disadvantaged students. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the school's areas of concern and improve student outcomes.
