Jaffrey Grade School

Summary:

Jaffrey Grade School is an elementary school serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, which is part of the Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 51st out of 229 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 164th out of 234 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Academically, Jaffrey Grade School's performance, as measured by proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science, is consistently lower than both the district and state averages. This is particularly concerning in 5th-grade mathematics, where the school's proficiency rate of 27% is significantly below the district and state levels of 40%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.81%), indicating a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to nearby schools like Rindge Memorial School (17.34%) and Highbridge Hill Elementary School (19.46%).

In terms of racial makeup, Jaffrey Grade School has a higher percentage of white students (86.46%) compared to nearby schools like Rindge Memorial School (93.5%) and Highbridge Hill Elementary School (96.8%), suggesting a less diverse student population. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics, and explore ways to support the needs of its economically disadvantaged 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.
