The school also performs exceptionally well for specific student subgroups, ranking 28th out of 187 New Hampshire elementary schools for female students and 13th out of 71 for special education students.

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.

Open Quote Beware to those who are considering placing their child within this district!
Our son was transferred from an amazing community school in Manchester to what we thought was going to be an even better school district prior to our move to Hooksett. Ultimately we couldn't be so wrong!
Not only has our experience in the school system been terrible, but also that of the actual "community " we moved to was as well. Since we are former military and accustomed to moving, we had little idea that this would ultimately seem the worst quality of life we have EVER experienced!

Here is just a few scenarios that we have encountered in a two month period:

•Lack of respect/understanding for religious beliefs by both students and staff (leaving room for discrimination, whether intentional or not)
•Poor record keeping/ negligence on reporting and protocols (Federally and Statewide)
•Bullying from peers/staff
•Poor recess monitoring/understaffed
•Poor resources for disabled children, naming guidelines for reporting, providing qualified personnel for special needs reporting, and lack of knowledge on protocols underlined per child find law
•Poor training for educators who have children with disabilities in classrooms, or refusal to act accordingly
•Administration ignorance for protocols on disciplinary for disabled children per IDEA/OCR
•Communication from educators to parents
•Terrible District leadership due to deliberate or just being so removed from the happenings etc.
•Parental Safeguard consideration lacks
•Lack of accountability/correction measures taken per Section 504, IDEA, and OCR

Due to the above, we have lost full confidence in this school systems ability to provide FAPE for our disabled child and have begun seeking alternative options.
We hope that all parents who have/suspects their child may have disabilities to seek additional information from sources like FERPA for public information on complaints and other public information before placing their child(ren) in such an environment.
Had we fully done so, we would've been better educated as to what a proper placement for our child would be. We have learned such realities the hard way and hope our experience will help another in the future.
Lastly, all parents should be aware that there are immunity laws that protect school districts from legal liability, thus creating an almost impossible scenario for legal action against school districts for remedy. I add this detail so all understand the proper protocol for such. Depending on the complaint, you may be eligible to seek help from certain nonprofits like ACLU, DRC, or OCR. In addition, legal counsel may be able to help you navigate what options you have.
Good luck on your search and we hope we were able to help weigh in with our experiences thus far. Close Quote

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.
