Summary:
Compass Classical Academy Charter School (E) and Compass Classical Academy Charter School (H) are two schools serving grades PK–12 on the same campus in Northfield, New Hampshire. Together, they enroll 192 students, including 149 students in the elementary/middle school and 43 in the high school. Both schools are part of the Compass Classical Academy Charter School district.
The elementary/middle school has lower academic results than the state overall, but recent progress is encouraging. Reading proficiency is 37%, science proficiency is 30%, and mathematics proficiency is 16%. Science is the closest to the state average, while mathematics is the clearest area for improvement. Reading and science increased by 12 and 13 percentage points, respectively, in one year. Eighth-grade reading is a particular concern at 18% proficiency, while sixth-grade reading is the strongest grade-level result at 46%. The school’s ranking also improved from the 2nd to the 10th percentile over the reported three-year period, although it remains in the lower statewide range.
Compass Classical Academy Charter School (H) stands out for completion outcomes: its reported graduation rate is 100%, compared with 87% statewide, and its dropout rate is 0%, compared with 2.3% statewide. Its 10.7:1 student-teacher ratio is also considerably lower than the elementary/middle school’s 18.6:1 ratio. However, the high school enrolls only 43 students, so its percentages may change noticeably from year to year. Free or reduced-price lunch participation is nearly identical at both schools, around 46%. Overall, the high school shows strong persistence and graduation results, while the elementary/middle school’s main priorities are mathematics, eighth-grade reading, and sustaining recent academic gains.
