Gathering Waters Charter School (E)

Summary:

Gathering Waters Charter School (E) is an elementary school located in Keene, New Hampshire, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 220 students. The school is part of the Keene School District, which is ranked 27th out of 163 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Gathering Waters Charter School (E) has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, the school faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance. The school has significantly lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science across all grades compared to the state average and nearby schools like Symonds Elementary and Fuller Elementary. For example, the school's overall Mathematics proficiency rate is just 14%, compared to the state average of 42%. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly white, which is not reflective of the racial diversity seen in many nearby schools.

Interestingly, another charter school in the region, Surry Village Charter School, outperforms Gathering Waters Charter School (E) in both Mathematics and Reading proficiency, suggesting that the charter school model can be successful in the area. However, Gathering Waters may need to closely examine its educational practices, resource allocation, and community engagement strategies to address its underperformance and lack of diversity, especially in comparison to higher-performing public schools in the Keene School District.

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.
