Summary:

Greenfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Greenfield, New Hampshire, with a student population of 93. The school is part of the Contoocook Valley School District, which is ranked 94 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenfield Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics. In 2023-2024, 48% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 41% for the district and the state. This performance is even more impressive in 3rd grade, where 65% of students were proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (62%) and state (53%) averages. However, the school's reading performance and overall ranking and rating suggest areas for improvement, as it lags behind nearby high-performing schools like New Boston Central School and Peterborough Elementary School.

Greenfield Elementary also stands out for its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 11 students per teacher over the past three years, lower than the nearby schools in the district. Additionally, while the school has a predominantly White student population, it has a higher percentage of non-White students compared to some nearby schools, such as Francestown Elementary School and Dublin Consolidated School. The school also has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to nearby schools.

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.
