Lempster School District

Summary:

The Lempster School District consists of a single elementary school, Lempster Community School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 123 students.

Lempster Community School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 71st out of 237 elementary schools in New Hampshire in 2022-2023 but dropping to 165th out of 234 in 2023-2024 and 148th out of 224 in 2024-2025. The school's academic proficiency rates in mathematics and reading are consistently below the state averages, while its science proficiency rate is slightly above the state average. The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (41.46%), which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

Despite the school's fluctuating performance and academic proficiency gaps, it maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which could be an effort to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. Overall, the analysis of the Lempster School District data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance and the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes.
