Newfields Elementary School

Q: Is Newfields Elementary School a good school?

Newfields Elementary School ranks 24 th of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 5 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Newfields Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Newfields, New Hampshire, serving a student population of 118 that is predominantly white. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency and ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in New Hampshire.

Newfields Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 64% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 72% proficient or better in reading, significantly exceeding the state averages of 41% and 53%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rate of 72% is also well above the state average of 36%. This consistent academic excellence has earned Newfields Elementary a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 24th out of 234 elementary schools. In comparison, nearby schools like Epping Elementary School and Newmarket Elementary School have lower proficiency rates and rankings.

While Newfields Elementary School's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white, with less than 2% of students identifying as non-white. This lack of racial diversity is in contrast to nearby schools like Mast Way School, which has a more diverse student body. Additionally, the school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 2.59% to 5.38%, suggests the school serves a relatively affluent community, which could raise concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for students from lower-income families.

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.
