Summary:
The Northumberland School District has only one elementary school, Groveton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 121st out of 224 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 169th out of 237 in 2022-2023.
Academically, Groveton Elementary School's proficiency in mathematics and reading is above the district average but below the state average for all grades and most individual grade levels. Its science proficiency is also above the district average but below the state average for all grades and 5th grade. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (54.55% in 2023-2024) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, the school maintains a small student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which is typically considered a positive factor for student learning.
Overall, Groveton Elementary School faces challenges in improving its academic performance and may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its student population. While the school's small student-teacher ratio is a strength, its fluctuating statewide ranking and mixed performance on state assessments suggest that the school has room for improvement in ensuring all students achieve academic success.
