Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School

Summary:

Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, serving 163 students in grades PK-6. 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.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a moderate percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. In 2023-2024, the school's overall mathematics proficiency was 32%, compared to 41% for the state and 27% for the district. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 138 out of 211 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 174 out of 234 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state.

Another notable finding is the school's high percentage of white students (91.41% in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Winchester School and Marlborough Elementary School, which have more diverse student populations. This, combined with the school's underperformance, suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of its small population of non-white students. Additionally, the school's data shows a notable gap between male and female students, with male students outperforming females, indicating that the school may need to address gender-specific learning needs.

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.
