Crescent Lake School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Crescent Lake School is a public middle school located in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 174 students. It 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.

Crescent Lake School consistently outperforms the Governor Wentworth Regional School District and the state of New Hampshire in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Crescent Lake School is projected to have 51% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 43% for the district and 42% for the state. Similarly, in Reading, Crescent Lake School is projected to have 59% proficiency, compared to 54% for the district and 55% for the state. Additionally, Crescent Lake School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.1 to 11.2 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby Kingswood Regional Middle School (9.7) and the state average, indicating a more personalized learning environment for students.

While Crescent Lake School is performing well overall, the school has seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 17.05% in 2021-2022 to 31.61% in 2023-2024. This suggests a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed academically. The school's consistent academic performance, low student-teacher ratio, and positive comparisons to nearby schools suggest it is effectively meeting the needs of its students, but the increasing free and reduced-price lunch rates may indicate a need to address potential equity concerns.
