Mascenic Regional High School

Q: Is Mascenic Regional High School a good school?

Mascenic Regional High School ranks 64 th of 87 New Hampshire high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Mascenic Regional High School is a public high school located in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 261. The school is part of the Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District, which is ranked 102 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mascenic Regional High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been declining in recent years. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 12% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 41% statewide. Mascenic also lags behind in Reading and Science proficiency. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 28th in 2020-2021 to 64th in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 1. This decline in performance is in contrast to many nearby high schools, such as Souhegan Coop High School and Hollis-Brookline High School, which have higher test scores and better school rankings.

Another notable characteristic of Mascenic Regional High School is its lack of diversity, with a student population that is 96.17% white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's administration and the Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District should closely examine the root causes of these issues and develop a comprehensive plan to address them, with the goal of improving student outcomes and preparing them for success in the future.

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.
