Great Brook School

Summary:

Great Brook School is a public middle school located in Antrim, New Hampshire, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 224 and is part of the Contoocook Valley School District.

While Great Brook School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.09%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is concerning. The school's test scores in mathematics, reading, and science are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels, with only 37% of students proficient or better in mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to 41% at the state and district levels. Great Brook School has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's performance for female, male, and white students is also below average compared to other New Hampshire middle schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as South Meadow School, which is also part of the Contoocook Valley School District, Great Brook School consistently underperforms in both test scores and statewide rankings. While the school's relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students may not be the primary driver of its underperformance, the data suggests that there is room for improvement, and a comprehensive review of the school's practices and resources could help identify opportunities to enhance student outcomes.

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.
