Summary:
The Claremont School District in New Hampshire has only one high school, Stevens High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom half of high schools in the state over the past three years and earning a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Stevens High School lags behind the Claremont School District and the state of New Hampshire in proficiency rates for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate is 15%, compared to 20% for the district and 41% for the state. Similarly, the school's Reading proficiency rate is 47%, while the district is at 36% and the state is at 53%. This significant gap in academic performance suggests that students at Stevens High School are not achieving at the same level as their peers across the state.
Despite the school's struggles, it serves a diverse student population, with 89.33% of students identifying as White, and smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and students of two or more races. Additionally, over 27% of students at Stevens High School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the unique needs of this diverse student body and implementing effective strategies to improve academic achievement should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
