Raymond High School

Q: Is Raymond High School a good school?

Raymond High School ranks 43 rd of 87 New Hampshire high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Raymond High School is a public high school serving 346 students in grades 9-12 in Raymond, New Hampshire. The school is part of the Sanborn Regional School District, which is ranked 85 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Raymond High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools on standardized tests. In 2023-2024, only 16% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years but generally places it in the bottom half of New Hampshire high schools, ranking 43 out of 87 in the most recent year. This is well below higher-performing nearby schools like Newmarket Junior-Senior High School and Coe-Brown Northwood Academy.

Another key differentiating factor is the racial makeup of Raymond High School, which has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.91%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. This lack of diversity may impact the school's culture and learning environment. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (11.56%), which could indicate that the school serves a more affluent population, potentially contributing to the academic performance differences observed.

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.
