Henniker Community School

Summary:

Henniker Community School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Henniker, New Hampshire, with around 400 students, the majority of whom are White. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science across all grade levels, and its statewide ranking has declined over the years, now placing it in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in the state.

Specifically, the school's overall proficiency rate in mathematics was 36% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 41%, and its reading proficiency rate was 38%, compared to the state's 53%. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th and 7th grade mathematics, where proficiency rates were only 16% and 21%, respectively. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments is lower for male students and White students compared to their female and non-White peers. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ranking for male students was 139th out of 193 New Hampshire elementary schools, while the ranking for female students was 132nd out of 187 schools.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Sutton Central Elementary School, which consistently outperforms Henniker Community School on state assessments and has a higher statewide ranking, the differences in academic performance are concerning. The school's relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 15.79% in 2020-2021 to 18.25% in 2022-2023, may indicate that it serves a more affluent population, which could contribute to the academic performance differences observed. However, further investigation would be needed to determine the specific factors driving the school's academic performance and ranking.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Henniker Community School
