Broken Ground School

Summary:

Broken Ground School is an elementary school located in Concord, New Hampshire, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 308. The school is part of the Concord School District, which is ranked 106 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broken Ground School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (14-17%) and Asian (10-16%) students compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently ranked among the top 1-2 schools in the state for English Language Learner (ELL) student performance, earning 5-star ratings in this subgroup. Additionally, Broken Ground School has performed better than the district and state averages in special education student performance, ranking in the top half of New Hampshire elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the school's overall mathematics proficiency (41% in 2023-2024) is below the state average (41%), though it has outperformed the Concord School District (36%) in this metric.

While Broken Ground School has unique strengths, it also faces some challenges. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, and there appear to be significant achievement gaps between racial subgroups. Compared to nearby schools like Christa McAuliffe School and Bow Elementary School, Broken Ground School's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Beaver Meadow and Penacook Elementary. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43% in 2022-2023) may also contribute to its academic challenges.

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.
