Pollard Elementary School

Summary:

Pollard Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Plaistow, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school is part of the Timberlane Regional School District, which is ranked 87 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Pollard Elementary School has a higher percentage of white students (82.09%) compared to the state average, its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (37%) and reading (47%) were significantly below the district (41% and 54%) and state (41% and 53%) averages. However, the school's special education students have performed relatively better, ranking 33 out of 71 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Pollard Elementary School also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a low student-teacher ratio compared to the state average.

Compared to other nearby schools, such as Danville Elementary School and Atkinson Academy within the Timberlane Regional School District, Pollard Elementary School generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. The school's declining performance over time, from a high of 84 out of 244 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2015-2016 school year to a low of 152 out of 234 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's practices and resources to identify areas for improvement and support student success.

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.
