Summary:
The 03221 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School - Bradford and Sutton Central Elementary School, both part of the Kearsarge Regional School District. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data analysis reveals that Sutton Central Elementary School stands out as the higher-performing school in the area.
Sutton Central Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of New Hampshire elementary schools, outperforming the district and state averages in academic metrics such as math, reading, and science proficiency rates. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively more affluent student population. In contrast, Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School - Bradford lags behind Sutton Central in most academic areas, despite both schools having a 10:1 student-teacher ratio.
The significant performance gap between the two schools within the same district is an interesting finding that warrants further investigation. Factors such as the racial and socioeconomic differences between the student populations may contribute to the disparities in academic achievement. Additionally, the district-level data suggests that the Kearsarge Regional School District as a whole is performing slightly above the state average in math and reading, but below the state average in science, highlighting a potential area for improvement across the district.
