Andover Elementary School

Summary:

Andover Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Andover, New Hampshire, serving a student population of 185, with over 96% of students identifying as white. The school is part of the Andover School District, which is ranked 119 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Andover Elementary School has struggled, with proficiency rates in mathematics (32%) and reading (50%) significantly lower than the state averages of 41% and 53%, respectively. This trend has persisted over the past few years, and the school's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 39 out of 231 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2017-2018 to its current ranking of 157 out of 234 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, such as Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School at New London and Simonds Elementary School, Andover Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower.

The school's lower performance for male and white student subgroups, as well as the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (from 16% in 2020-2021 to 31.89% in 2022-2023), suggest potential equity issues that may need to be addressed. The school's leadership and the Andover School District should closely examine these challenges and develop a comprehensive plan to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.

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.
