Summary:
The 03036 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Chester Academy, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 502 students. While Chester Academy does not stand out as a clear top performer, the school's data provides a mixed picture, with some strengths and areas for improvement.
Chester Academy has a predominantly white student population (89.04%), with a relatively diverse student body that includes Hispanic (6.57%), Asian (1.99%), and multiracial (1.99%) students. The school's test scores show a range of performance, with 5th-grade students excelling in reading (76% proficiency) and mathematics (63% proficiency), but struggling in 6th-grade mathematics (16% proficiency) and 8th-grade reading and science (42% and 23% proficiency, respectively). Additionally, the school has a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (4.58%), suggesting it serves a relatively affluent community.
One of the school's strengths is its favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1, which is lower than the state average and may contribute to a more personalized learning environment. However, despite these positive factors, Chester School District has consistently ranked Chester Academy between 90th and 117th out of 233-237 New Hampshire elementary schools over the past three school years, with a consistent 3-star rating out of 5. This suggests the school is performing at a relatively average level compared to its peers in the state.
