Heartwood Public Charter School

Summary:

Heartwood Public Charter School is a small elementary school in Jefferson, New Hampshire, serving 39 students in grades K-8 with a predominantly white student population. The school stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, strong reading and science proficiency, but lags behind the top-performing schools in the area, particularly in mathematics.

Heartwood Public Charter School's key strengths include a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.4 students per teacher, as well as consistently higher reading and science proficiency rates compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, 68% of Heartwood students were proficient or better in reading, versus the state average of 53%, and 55% were proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 36%. However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates, lags behind the top-performing school in the area, Lafayette Regional School, which has consistently high proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

Another factor to consider is Heartwood Public Charter School's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 38.46%, which is higher than some nearby schools like Bethlehem Elementary School (31.79%) and Lafayette Regional School (14.77%). The school's statewide ranking has remained relatively stable, ranking 92 out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
