Chesterfield School District

Summary:

The Chesterfield School District in New Hampshire consists of a single elementary school, Chesterfield Central School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 248 students. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance and statewide ranking are generally average compared to other elementary schools in New Hampshire.

Chesterfield Central School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 109th out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 138th out of 224 in 2024-2025, placing it in the middle to lower range of elementary schools in the state. The school's academic performance is also mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in mathematics, reading, and science, while others fall below. For example, 7th-grade students scored 63% proficient in mathematics, while 4th-grade students scored only 18% proficient.

Despite these inconsistencies, the school does have some positive attributes, such as a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 16.53% in 2023-2024 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.3. However, the school's overall performance suggests that there may be room for improvement in its instructional practices and curriculum to ensure more consistent and equitable student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.
