Tuftonboro Central School

Summary:

Tuftonboro Central School is a public elementary school serving around 100 students in grades K-6 in the small town of Center Tuftonboro, New Hampshire. As part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, which is ranked 82 out of 163 districts in the state, Tuftonboro Central School has consistently outperformed both state and district averages in academic achievement.

With 51% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 57% proficient or better in reading, Tuftonboro Central School ranks in the top quarter of New Hampshire elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's strong performance is particularly notable for its male students, who ranked 34th out of 195 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year. However, the school's female students have underperformed, ranking 153rd out of 187 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a need for the school to examine its instructional practices and support systems to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

Tuftonboro Central School's smaller class sizes, ranging from 7.6 to 8.1 students per teacher over the past three years, may contribute to its academic success by allowing for more individualized attention and support. The school's predominantly White student population (90% in 2022-2023) has also performed well, ranking 57th out of 233 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. As the school's free/reduced lunch rates have decreased from 36.27% in 2020-2021 to 24% in 2022-2023, the school may need to adjust its resource allocation and support services to meet the changing needs of its student population.

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.
