Groveton High School

Summary:

Groveton High School is a small public high school in Groveton, New Hampshire, serving 123 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Northumberland School District, which is ranked 142 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Groveton High School stands out for several concerning reasons. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95-96%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Berlin Senior High School and White Mountains Regional High School. Academically, Groveton High consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science that are much lower. The school's statewide ranking has also declined sharply in recent years, from 15th and 22nd place to 81st out of 87 high schools.

These academic challenges are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, with Groveton High ranking 73rd and 81st in the state for female and white students, respectively. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 40-43% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to the nearby Berlin School District and White Mountains Regional School District, Groveton High consistently underperforms, suggesting the school faces unique challenges in providing a high-quality education to 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.
