Summary

Ossipee Central School is an elementary school located in Center Ossipee, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 294 students. The school is part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, which is ranked 93 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ossipee Central School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools, with a ranking between 152-206 out of 211-237 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the New Hampshire SAS assessments is generally below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects, particularly in 5th grade. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.65% to 57.14% over the past 3 years. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the nearby Carpenter School and Tuftonboro Central School, which generally outperform Ossipee Central School on academic measures.

Interestingly, the school's performance for female students is generally better than for male students, and the school's performance for special education students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top third of New Hampshire elementary schools in 2018-2019. However, the school's performance for white students is consistently in the bottom quarter of New Hampshire elementary schools. These disparities suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing equity and inclusion in its instructional practices and support systems to ensure all students are receiving the resources they need to succeed.
