Allenstown Elementary School

Summary:

Allenstown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 196 students in grades K-4 in Allenstown, New Hampshire. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and test scores that are sometimes below state averages, but also some bright spots in 3rd-grade academic achievement.

Allenstown Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with 49% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 48% proficient or better in reading in 2022-2023, both below the state averages. However, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics and reading proficiency rates were higher than the state, at 58% and 55% compared to 52% and 46%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.09% to 44.9% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the nearby Bow Elementary School, which had only 3.38% of students receiving free/reduced lunch in 2022-2023. Additionally, Allenstown Elementary has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 12.1 over the past three years, lower than the ratios of many nearby schools, such as Hooksett Memorial School (14.2).

When compared to nearby elementary schools, Allenstown Elementary's performance has been mixed. While its overall performance is below the state average, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics and reading proficiency rates are higher than the state averages and comparable to or better than many nearby schools, such as Epsom Central School and Pembroke Hill School. However, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate and lower overall rankings suggest that it may face greater socioeconomic challenges than some of its neighbors in the Epsom School District, Bow School District, and Pembroke School District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
