Public Grades K-4

Summary

School Street School is an elementary school in Rochester, New Hampshire, serving 66 students in grades K-4. The school stands out as a relatively high-performing institution within the Rochester School District, which is ranked 139 out of 163 districts in the state.

Key insights about School Street School include its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of white students (81.82%) and students of two or more races (13.64%) compared to the state average. Academically, the school outperforms the Rochester School District and the state average in both math and reading proficiency, with 42% of students proficient or better in math and 58% in reading, compared to 24% and 37% for the district, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 11.4 over the past three years, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Rochester School District, School Street School stands out as a top performer, outpacing its peers in both math and reading proficiency. However, the school's inconsistent statewide ranking, ranging from 110 out of 234 schools in 2023-2024 to as low as 219 out of 244 schools in 2015-2016, suggests that its performance has been uneven over the years. Additionally, while School Street School outperforms the Rochester School District, the Somersworth and Barrington school districts in the region have higher overall performance and rankings, indicating that there may be opportunities for School Street School to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the area.
