Summary:
The 03101 zip code area has only one school, Bakersville School, which is an elementary school serving grades PK-4. This school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance in Mathematics and Reading compared to state and Manchester School District averages.
Bakersville School has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 70.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor, the school's academic performance remains significantly below state and district levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 15% of Bakersville School students were proficient or better in Mathematics, and only 14% were proficient or better in Reading, compared to state averages of 41% and 53%, respectively.
The consistently low academic performance at Bakersville School, with a statewide ranking of 233 out of 234 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. While the low student-teacher ratio could be a potential asset, it does not appear to be translating into improved outcomes for the predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems would be necessary to identify areas for improvement and better support the educational needs of the community.
