Belmont Middle School

Summary:

Belmont Middle School is a public middle school serving 345 students in grades 5-8 in the Winnisquam Regional School District in Belmont, New Hampshire. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and performance, with a decline in recent years compared to other middle schools in the state.

Belmont Middle School has performed relatively well for female students, ranking 28th out of 110 New Hampshire middle schools in 2023-2024. However, its rankings for male students (31st out of 113) and White students (38th out of 128) are lower. The school's performance for special education students is particularly concerning, dropping from 24th out of 48 in 2023-2024 to 50th out of 52 in 2022-2023. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (42%) and science (38%) are slightly above the state averages, but its reading proficiency (62%) is significantly higher. Unfortunately, these proficiency rates have declined over the past few years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Belmont Middle School generally performs better than some, such as Merrimack Valley Middle School and Laconia Middle School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Newfound Memorial Middle School, Kingswood Regional Middle School, and Gilford Middle School. The overall trend for Belmont Middle School appears to be one of declining performance, which warrants further investigation and improvement efforts.

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.
