Lionheart Classical Academy Chartered Public School

Summary:

Lionheart Classical Academy Chartered Public School is a small, predominantly white elementary school in Peterborough, New Hampshire, serving 195 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency, but it also stands out for its lack of racial diversity and lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby public schools.

Academically, Lionheart Classical Academy shines, with 47% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 56% in reading, surpassing the state averages of 41% and 53%, respectively. This consistent high performance suggests the school is providing an effective educational environment for its students. However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse than the surrounding area, with 95.38% of students identifying as white, compared to the state average of around 70% for white students. This raises questions about the school's recruitment and enrollment practices, and the potential impact on the educational experiences of students from diverse backgrounds.

Another key difference is the school's socioeconomic makeup. Lionheart Classical Academy has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at just 6.15%, compared to the nearby Contoocook Valley School District schools, which range from 17.34% to 36.81%. This suggests the school may serve a more affluent student population, which could have implications for resource allocation, educational opportunities, and the overall learning environment. Additionally, Lionheart Classical Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.4, compared to the nearby public schools, which range from 6.8 to 13.7 students per teacher, potentially indicating smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for 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.
