N. Charlestown Community School

Summary:

N. Charlestown Community School is a small public prekindergarten school in Charlestown, New Hampshire, with just 61 students enrolled in the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Fall Mountain Regional School District, which is ranked 83 out of 163 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, which could indicate a more personalized learning environment, it consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores for mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the Fall Mountain Regional School District and the state of New Hampshire across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (47.54%) compared to the nearby Fall Mountain Regional -Pre School Program (35.71%) and Claremont Preschool Center (40.98%), suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Another notable difference is the racial makeup of the school, with N. Charlestown Community School having a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.08%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. This lack of diversity could limit the exposure of students to different cultures and perspectives. Overall, the analysis of N. Charlestown Community School reveals several areas of concern, including low academic performance, higher rates of economic disadvantage, and a lack of racial diversity, which suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges facing the school and its 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.
