Summary:
The city of Bartlett, New Hampshire has only one school, the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 169 students. The school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools for the past three years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Josiah Bartlett Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the NH SAS assessments generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, the school's 2024-2025 math proficiency rate for all grades is 28% compared to the state average of 42%. Additionally, over 30% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential equity issues that may be contributing to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.8 that is lower than the state average, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School has struggled to improve its performance. The Bartlett School District will need to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and implement targeted interventions to support student learning and close achievement gaps.
