Cutler Elementary School

Summary:

Cutler Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Swanzey, New Hampshire, serving grades 3-6 with a student population of 289. The school is part of the Monadnock Regional School District, which is ranked 144 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cutler Elementary School faces several key challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.46%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Franklin Elementary (78.77% white) and Symonds Elementary (85.06% white) in Keene. Cutler's overall math and reading proficiency rates are lower than the state and district averages, and the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, and special education students, are generally in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools.

Cutler Elementary School's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 26.71% to 34.51% over the past three school years, is another area of concern. This is higher than the nearby Chesterfield Central School (15.97%) but lower than schools in the Keene district, such as Franklin Elementary (58.49%) and Wheelock Elementary (52.06%). Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-level approach to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all 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.

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.
