Westmoreland School

Summary:

Westmoreland School is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the small town of Westmoreland, New Hampshire, with a student population of just 110 students. While the school has some unique characteristics, it faces a mix of strengths and challenges compared to nearby schools in the region.

One key differentiator is Westmoreland School's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.55%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Mt. Caesar Elementary School and Wheelock Elementary School. The school's performance on state assessments is also mixed, with stronger reading proficiency but lower mathematics proficiency than the state average. Westmoreland School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 51 out of 231 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 149 out of 234 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of schools in New Hampshire.

On a positive note, Westmoreland School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 13.64% to 21.82% over the past three years, compared to higher rates at nearby schools like Franklin Elementary School (58.49%). Additionally, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.9 to 9.0, significantly lower than the ratios at other local schools. These factors suggest that Westmoreland School may serve a more affluent student population and provide a more personalized learning environment, but the school's declining statewide ranking and lower mathematics proficiency indicate areas for potential improvement.

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.
