Summary:

Broad Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in Nashua, New Hampshire, serving 249 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Nashua School District, which is ranked 114 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broad Street Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (63.45%) and Hispanic students (17.27%) compared to the state average. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong mathematics proficiency, particularly in 3rd grade, but lower reading and science proficiency. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district and state averages, suggesting it may have access to more resources. While Broad Street Elementary generally outperforms other schools in the Nashua School District, some nearby schools, such as Main Dunstable School and New Searles School, have higher proficiency rates in both mathematics and reading.

Overall, Broad Street Elementary School has some strengths, particularly in mathematics, but also areas for improvement, such as reading and science proficiency. The school's fluctuating statewide ranking and rating over the years indicate that its performance may be inconsistent, which could be an area for further investigation and enhancement. By focusing on strategies to improve reading and science instruction, the school may be able to provide a more well-rounded education for its 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.
