Summary

Cutler Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Swanzey, New Hampshire, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 291 students. The school is part of the Monadnock Regional School District, which is ranked 136 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cutler Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates and rankings compared to the state and nearby schools. The school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in the NH SAS assessments, is generally below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (42%), Reading (44%), and Science (26%) are lower than the state averages (42%, 55%, and 38%, respectively). The school's performance has been consistently low, with a ranking between 153-179 out of 224-237 New Hampshire elementary schools over the past 10 years, and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 31.96% to 34.51% over the past three years, suggests that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. In contrast, the Keene School District schools, particularly Symonds Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. The Keene School District schools have a more diverse socioeconomic mix, with some schools having lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which may be a contributing factor to their higher academic outcomes.
