Crescent Lake School consistently outperforms the Governor Wentworth Regional School District and the state of New Hampshire in academic proficiency, with 51% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 58% proficient or better in Reading, compared to 44% and 54% for the district, and 41% and 53% for the state, respectively.

Additionally, Crescent Lake School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.87%) compared to the state average.

The relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 students per teacher at Crescent Lake School may contribute to the school's academic success, as smaller class sizes can allow for more individualized attention and support for students. This ratio is lower than the nearby Kingswood Regional Middle School (10.4 students per teacher) and Belmont Middle School (9.6 students per teacher). While Crescent Lake School's academic performance is impressive, the school's relative homogeneity in terms of race and socioeconomic status may be an area for further exploration and consideration by school leaders and the broader community.

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.
