Summary:
The Wakefield School District in New Hampshire is home to a single school, Paul Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 450 students.
While Paul Elementary School has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, its academic performance is significantly below the state averages in New Hampshire. The school's proficiency rates on the New Hampshire SAS assessments range from just 11% to 31% across different grade levels and subject areas, compared to state averages of 41% in mathematics, 53% in reading, and 36% in science. This consistently low academic achievement suggests the school may be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
The school's demographic composition is predominantly White (93.78%), with small percentages of Hispanic (2%) and students of two or more races (3.33%). Additionally, a high percentage of students (29.78%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, which can be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the school. While the small student-teacher ratio could be an advantage, it does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the available data.
