Kingswood Regional High School

Summary:

Kingswood Regional High School is a public high school located in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 720 students. The school is part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, which is ranked 82 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kingswood Regional High School stands out in several key areas. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.28%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Pittsfield High School and Laconia High School. Academically, the school ranks in the top half of New Hampshire high schools, with 62% of students proficient or better in reading, outperforming the state average of 53%. However, the school lags behind in mathematics proficiency, with only 30% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 41%. Kingswood also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, lower than nearby schools like Pittsfield High School (13.9) and Laconia High School (11.5).

While Kingswood Regional High School maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's lack of racial diversity and lower mathematics proficiency compared to the state average are areas that may require further examination and targeted interventions. Additionally, the school's lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (25.97%) compared to nearby schools suggests a relatively more affluent student population, which could have implications for resource allocation and support services.

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.
