Heartwood Public Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Heartwood Public Charter School is a small elementary school in Jefferson, New Hampshire, serving 39 students in grades K-8 with a predominantly white student population. The school stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, strong reading and science proficiency, but lags behind the top-performing schools in the area, particularly in mathematics.

Heartwood Public Charter School's key strengths include a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.4 students per teacher, as well as consistently higher reading and science proficiency rates compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, 68% of Heartwood students were proficient or better in reading, versus the state average of 53%, and 55% were proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 36%. However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates, lags behind the top-performing school in the area, Lafayette Regional School, which has consistently high proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

Another factor to consider is Heartwood Public Charter School's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 38.46%, which is higher than some nearby schools like Bethlehem Elementary School (31.79%) and Lafayette Regional School (14.77%). The school's statewide ranking has remained relatively stable, ranking 92 out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
