Summary:

Fall Mountain Regional High School is a public high school in Langdon, New Hampshire, serving 487 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Fall Mountain Regional School District, which is ranked 83 out of 163 districts in the state.

While the school performs better than nearby traditional public schools like Newport Middle High School and Stevens High School on standardized tests, it consistently ranks in the middle to lower range of New Hampshire high schools, with only 15% of students proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 41%. The school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with female students ranking 29th out of 81 NH high schools, while male students rank 66th out of 82 schools. Notably, the school's special education students perform particularly poorly, ranking 29th out of 32 NH high schools.

The school's academic performance has declined over time, dropping from a high ranking of 26th out of 84 schools in 2020-2021 to 53rd out of 87 schools in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning, especially given the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Fall Mountain Regional High School, which ranges from 18.31% to 32.44% in recent years. In contrast, the nearby Gathering Waters Charter School and LEAF Charter School tend to outperform Fall Mountain Regional High School and the surrounding traditional public 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.
