Summary:
The Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District has two elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through Grade 5: Rindge Memorial School and Jaffrey Grade School, with 574 students combined.
Rindge Memorial School is the stronger overall performer in the available data. It enrolls 324 students, has a 2-star rating, and ranks 152nd of 230 schools, compared with 180th of 230 and 1 star for Jaffrey Grade School. Rindge leads Jaffrey in all-grade mathematics, 43% to 34%, and science, 43% to 38%; the schools are tied in reading at 43%. Rindge also leads in mathematics across Grades 3–5, with its largest advantage in Grade 5, and performs better in Grade 3 and Grade 4 reading. Jaffrey’s strongest result is Grade 5 reading, where 53% of students are proficient compared with 50% at Rindge.
For families comparing the schools, reading is the most important shared area for improvement: both schools trail the state’s 55% all-grade reading proficiency rate. Grade 4 mathematics is another notable concern, with proficiency at 33% in Rindge and 26% in Jaffrey, compared with 52% statewide. Science is a relative strength, particularly at Rindge, and both schools improved in mathematics, reading, and science from the prior year. Jaffrey has a lower student-teacher ratio, 8.9 compared with 10.4 at Rindge, while Rindge offers the stronger overall academic and ranking profile. Across the Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District, the positive year-over-year gains are encouraging, but sustained attention to reading and Grade 4 math would be valuable.
