Pleasant Street School

Summary:

Pleasant Street School is an elementary school located in Laconia, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 266. The school is part of the Laconia School District, which is ranked 130 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Pleasant Street School stands out as a low-performing school within the Laconia district and the state of New Hampshire. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Hampshire elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the years. Its proficiency rates in Mathematics (35%), Reading (45%), and Science (21%) are all significantly below the state averages. The school's performance is also lower than the Laconia School District averages in these subject areas, with only around 30% of students proficient in Mathematics and 40% in Reading over the past few years. Interestingly, the school's Elm Street School, another Laconia public elementary school, outperforms Pleasant Street School in academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, despite being in the same district.

While Pleasant Street School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 12 students per teacher in recent years, the school's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, both within and outside the Laconia district. For example, Gilford Elementary School and New Hampton Community School, which are located near Laconia, significantly outperform Pleasant Street School in academic achievement and statewide rankings. The school's predominantly White student population also contrasts with the more racially diverse student bodies of some nearby schools, such as Elm Street School and Woodland Heights Elementary School.

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.
