Summary:
The city of Swanzey, New Hampshire is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While some schools in the Monadnock Regional School District show promising academic performance, the overall district is consistently underperforming compared to state averages.
Cutler Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics (39%) and Reading (44%) across all grades. In contrast, Monadnock Regional High School and Monadnock Regional Middle School struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages. Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, as schools with higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients tend to have lower academic performance.
Another notable finding is the lack of diversity in the schools, with the student population being over 90% white across all institutions. This homogeneity may limit the exposure of students to different cultures and perspectives, which can be valuable for their personal and academic growth. Overall, the data suggests the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the systemic issues within the Monadnock Regional School District and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
