MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation

Q: Is MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation a good school?

MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation ranks 102 nd of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation is a public charter elementary school in Nashua, New Hampshire, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade with a diverse student population.

The school consistently outperforms the state average in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 4th-grade mathematics and 3rd-grade reading. Compared to the nearby Nashua School District, MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation significantly outperforms the district in all subject areas and grade levels. However, the school's performance for Asian and White students is lower compared to other subgroups, indicating potential areas for improvement. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may not be serving a highly economically diverse population.

While the school has maintained a strong academic performance over the past few years, the rising student-teacher ratio, from 17.2 in 2020-2021 to 22.8 in 2022-2023, is worth monitoring, as higher ratios can potentially impact the quality of instruction and individual attention provided to students. The school may need to consider strategies to maintain an optimal student-teacher ratio to ensure continued academic success for all students.

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.
