Summary:

Moultonborough Academy is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the small town of Moultonborough, New Hampshire. With a student population of 142, it is a relatively small school compared to nearby high schools like Newfound Regional High School and Kingswood Regional High School. The school is part of the Inter-Lakes Cooperative School District, which is ranked 63 out of 163 districts in New Hampshire and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moultonborough Academy has consistently ranked among the top 50 high schools in New Hampshire, with a peak ranking of 9th out of 82 schools in 2016-2017. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the NH SAS and SAT, is generally above the state average, particularly in reading and science. However, the school's math performance lags behind, with only 33% of students proficient or better in NH SAS/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 41%. Additionally, Moultonborough Academy has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.25%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (15.49%) than the state and nearby schools.

While Moultonborough Academy's academic performance is strong, there are some areas that warrant further attention. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that factors beyond just student achievement may be influencing its performance. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity and potential gender-based differences in achievement are important considerations for ensuring a inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students. Understanding these key metrics and findings can help the school and district identify areas for improvement and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.
