Inter-Lakes Cooperative School District

The Inter-Lakes Cooperative School District in New Hampshire consists of four schools: two elementary schools (Inter-Lakes Elementary School and Sandwich Central School), one middle school (Inter-Lakes Middle School), and one high school (Inter-Lakes High School). The data reveals that Sandwich Central School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outpacing the district and state averages on key metrics such as test scores and student demographics.

Sandwich Central School is ranked 41st out of 224 elementary schools in New Hampshire and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in both mathematics and reading, with 65% and 69% of students proficient or better, respectively, across all grades. In contrast, the other schools in the district appear to be performing at or slightly below state averages on key metrics. The district as a whole has opportunities for improvement, and investigating the factors contributing to Sandwich Central School's success could help replicate those best practices at the other schools.

The data also reveals that the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch varies significantly across the district, from 10.53% at Sandwich Central School to 31.83% at Inter-Lakes Elementary School. This suggests that addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be a focus area for the district to improve outcomes across all schools. Additionally, the district maintains relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 9:1 to 11.2:1, which can be a valuable asset for student learning.
