Summary

Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School (M) is a small public charter middle school in Loudon, NH, serving 52 students in grades 6–8 in a close-knit setting. Its student-teacher ratio is 12.0, comparable to nearby schools, and its reported free/reduced-price lunch rate is relatively low at 7.69%. The school ranks 115th of 138 New Hampshire middle schools, placing it in the bottom fifth statewide.

Current assessment results show that the school is below New Hampshire averages in all three tested subjects: 24% of students are proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide; 33% in reading, compared with 55%; and 29% in science, compared with 38%. Reading is a concern across every grade, especially sixth grade, where proficiency is 25%. Math results vary considerably: only 13% of sixth graders and 15% of eighth graders are proficient, while seventh-grade proficiency reaches 50%—six points above the state rate. Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state, although its overall proficiency remains low. Because the school has only 52 students, a small number of students can significantly change grade-level percentages from year to year.

Among nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Pittsfield Middle School is the closest academic comparison, with lower results in math, reading, and science. However, David R. Cawley Middle School, Merrimack Valley Middle School, and Rundlett Middle School report substantially higher proficiency, particularly in math and reading. Overall, the results point to reading and sixth- and eighth-grade math as the most urgent academic priorities, while seventh-grade math may offer useful practices to study. The available data do not show whether the school is improving over time.
