Timberlane Regional Middle School

Summary:

Timberlane Regional Middle School is a public middle school located in Plaistow, New Hampshire, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 735. The school is part of the Windham School District, which is ranked 87 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a student body that is predominantly White, its academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates and statewide rankings, has declined over the years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2014-2015 to a consistent 2-star rating in recent years. Timberlane's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are generally below the state averages and the performance of nearby higher-ranked schools like Windham Middle School and Hampstead Middle School. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White and male students lagging behind.

The school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to some nearby schools, suggests that it may have access to more resources and support. However, this has not translated to better academic outcomes, indicating the need for the school and district to closely examine their curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to improve student learning outcomes. By learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools, Timberlane Regional Middle School can develop targeted strategies to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for all its 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.

Open Quote My daughter is going into the 8th grade, having been an Honor Student for 6th & 7th grades. The teachers have been, for the most part, highly dedicated and engaging with the students in spite of the recent budget cuts across the state. (A shout out to Mr. McCabe and Mrs. Sherman!) Overall, we have had a very good experience there. Close Quote

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.
