Winchester School

Summary:

Winchester School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Winchester, New Hampshire, with a student population of 357 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Winchester School District, which is ranked 161 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winchester School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New Hampshire elementary schools, ranking 217 out of 234 in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the New Hampshire SAS assessments are well below the state averages in both mathematics and reading across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 41%. In reading, the school's proficiency rate was 26%, compared to the state average of 53%. Winchester School also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.66% to 55.18% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Gathering Waters Charter School, Marlborough Elementary School, and Chesterfield Central School, generally outperform Winchester School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Winchester School are not necessarily shared by all schools in the region, and the school's consistent underperformance over the past decade may require significant intervention and support to address.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Winchester School

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased.

Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
