Ossipee Central School

Summary:

Ossipee Central School is an elementary school located in Center Ossipee, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 287. It 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.

Ossipee Central School faces several key challenges, including consistently low academic performance, a lack of diversity, and high poverty rates among its student population. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.52%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, and it consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its proficiency rates in math, reading, and science are below the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Ossipee Central School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.65% to 57.14% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the district.

The school's declining statewide ranking and underperformance compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Carpenter School and Tuftonboro Central School, indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The high poverty rates at Ossipee Central School may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, and the school's low performance for specific subgroups, such as male students and white students, suggests potential equity issues within the school.

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.
