Summary:
The Derry Cooperative School District in New Hampshire consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance across its schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, South Range Elementary School consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in the state, with a 4-star rating and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. Derry Village School and East Derry Memorial Elementary School also perform well, with 3-4 star ratings and test scores above the district average.
However, the district as a whole struggles with academic performance, scoring below the state average in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grades. The free and reduced lunch rates vary widely among the schools, from 10.69% at the Derry Early Education Program to 34.88% at Grinnell School, suggesting potential equity concerns within the district. The district's focus on early childhood education is evident, but the high student-teacher ratio at the Derry Early Education Program may be a concern.
