Summary:
ZIP code 03307 has one middle school, Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School, serving students in grades 6–8 in Loudon, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 52 students and has a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, offering a small-school setting. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, parents cannot compare it with another local school using these data; statewide results provide the most useful context.
The school’s strongest academic area is 7th-grade mathematics, where 50% of students were proficient, six percentage points above the New Hampshire average. Seventh-grade reading was also the school’s strongest reading result at 42%, although it remained below the 57% state rate. Overall, however, the school’s proficiency rates were below statewide results in every subject: 24% versus 44% in mathematics, 33% versus 55% in reading, and 29% versus 38% in science. Reading represents the largest schoolwide gap. Sixth grade is a particular concern, with only 13% proficient in mathematics and 25% in reading, while 8th-grade mathematics proficiency was 15%.
Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School is ranked 147th out of 166 New Hampshire schools, placing it near the 11th percentile, and has a 1-star rating. Its small enrollment means that results can change noticeably from year to year based on the performance of a relatively small number of students, so parents may want to review multi-year trends and growth data. The reported 7.69% free- or reduced-price lunch participation and 12:1 ratio provide useful background but do not by themselves predict academic outcomes. The school and the Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School district report nearly identical results, limiting the usefulness of that comparison. Key questions for families include how the school supports reading, sixth-grade transitions, and 8th-grade mathematics.
