Russell Elementary School

Summary:

Russell Elementary School is a public K-8 school located in Rumney, New Hampshire, serving 85 students, with a predominantly white student population. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 41st out of 206 New Hampshire elementary schools to a low of 202nd out of 237 in the most recent school year.

One of the key factors that sets Russell Elementary apart is its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4.8 to 6.2 students per teacher in recent years, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 7.7 to 18 students per teacher. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Canaan Elementary School and Bridgewater-Hebron Village School. Additionally, Russell Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38% to 54% in recent years, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

The declining statewide ranking of Russell Elementary, coupled with its homogeneous student population (over 95% white) and socioeconomic challenges, suggest that the school may be facing unique challenges that are impacting its academic performance. Understanding these key metrics and findings can help inform strategies to support the school and its students within the Mascoma Valley Regional School District and the broader educational community.

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.
