Plymouth Elementary School

Summary:

Plymouth Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Plymouth, New Hampshire, with a diverse student population of 387. The school consistently performs above the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency, setting it apart from many nearby schools.

One of the key strengths of Plymouth Elementary School is its academic performance. The school's overall proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 53% in mathematics and 59% in reading, compared to the state averages of 41% and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school's female and male students perform well, ranking 56th and 66th out of 187 and 193 New Hampshire elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's special education students rank 66th out of 70 New Hampshire elementary schools, indicating a need for improvement in supporting this subgroup.

Another unique aspect of Plymouth Elementary School is its racial diversity. Compared to nearby schools, such as Bristol Elementary School and Inter-Lakes Elementary School, Plymouth Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of non-White students. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 9.4 over the past three school years, which is lower than the ratios of many nearby schools. However, the school's racial diversity has decreased slightly over the past three years, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged 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.
