Beaver Meadow School

Summary:

Beaver Meadow School is an elementary school in Concord, New Hampshire, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Concord School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges, including declining performance, racial and gender-based achievement gaps, and lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

Beaver Meadow School has a higher percentage of White students (83.29%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 68.08% to 96.55% White students. The school also has a higher percentage of African American students (7.95%) compared to the other schools in the area. However, the school's ranking for White students (139th out of 228) is lower than the overall school ranking, suggesting that the academic performance of non-White students may be driving down the school's overall performance.

Academically, Beaver Meadow School's test scores are generally lower than the Concord School District and the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (39%), reading (46%), and science (33%) are all below the district and state averages. Interestingly, Boscawen Elementary School, which is part of the same school district, outperforms Beaver Meadow School in several key metrics, including mathematics and reading proficiency rates.

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.
