Summary:

Armand R. Dupont School is a public middle school in Allenstown, New Hampshire, serving 141 students in grades 5-8. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.36%) compared to nearby schools like Southside Middle School (50.4%) and Middle School At Parkside (47.09%), its academic performance lags behind state averages and many of its neighboring schools.

Armand R. Dupont School's proficiency rates on the NH SAS assessments are lower than the state averages, with just 28% of students proficient or better in mathematics (vs. 42% statewide), 45% in reading (vs. 52%), and 29% in science (vs. 37%). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools, placing it in the 2-3 star range on the SchoolDigger rating system. Additionally, the school's academic performance for female students is lower than for male students, and its ranking for white students is also below the state average, indicating potential achievement gaps.

Compared to nearby schools like Bow Memorial School, David R. Cawley Middle School, and Three Rivers School, which have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings, Armand R. Dupont School faces significant challenges. The school's fluctuating free/reduced lunch rates may also suggest that the student population faces varying levels of economic challenges, which could impact academic performance.

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.
