East Rochester School

Summary:

East Rochester School is an elementary school serving 293 students in grades PK-5 in the Rochester School District in New Hampshire. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of other racial groups.

East Rochester School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science compared to state and district averages. The school's performance is similar to other elementary schools in the Rochester School District, but lags behind the nearby Seacoast Charter School, which has higher academic proficiency and a better statewide ranking. East Rochester School's struggles are not unique to the district, as nearby schools in the Somersworth and Milton school districts also face similar challenges in academic performance.

While East Rochester School has shown some strengths in specific grade levels, such as higher 5th grade Reading proficiency, the school's overall performance has been inconsistent over the years, with no clear upward trend. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges, and the school's focus on providing more individualized attention through a lower student-teacher ratio may be an effort to address these issues.

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.
