North Hampton School

Summary:

North Hampton School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in North Hampton, New Hampshire, with 303 students. The school consistently performs exceptionally well, ranking among the top 20 elementary schools in the state and boasting high proficiency rates in mathematics and reading that far exceed state averages.

North Hampton School's academic performance is truly impressive, with 70% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 73% in reading, compared to state averages of just 41% and 53%, respectively. The school's strong performance extends across different student subgroups, with both female and male students, as well as white students, ranking in the top 30 elementary schools in New Hampshire. This consistent high ranking and academic excellence set North Hampton School apart from many nearby schools, such as Seabrook Elementary School, which has significantly lower proficiency rates.

While North Hampton School serves a predominantly white student population, the racial diversity of the school has increased slightly in recent years. However, the school's low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 2% to 4% over the past three years, suggests the school may serve a relatively affluent community, potentially raising concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for students from lower-income families in the area. Nonetheless, North Hampton School's exceptional academic performance, small student-teacher ratio, and consistent high ranking make it a standout school in the region.

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.
