Original Research by School Decision on Surry Village Charter School
Surry Village Charter School is a single-school charter district in New Hampshire serving kindergarten through eighth grade. It is a very small school, with roughly a dozen or fewer students per grade, and the district brief identifies it as a small single-school charter operation. One school sits within the district, and it is open and operational.
The student body is predominantly white, with a small number of Hispanic students and a few students identified as two or more races. No other racial or ethnic groups are represented in the reported enrollment. Information on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is not available, and data on students with individualized education programs and English learners is also missing. A parent weighing fit may want to ask the school directly about how it supports students with disabilities and students from low-income backgrounds, since those data points are absent here.
State assessment results from the New Hampshire SAS for the most recent school year are suppressed at every tested grade level and in every subject, with no test-takers recorded in any individual grade. This pattern is consistent with how New Hampshire handles very small cohorts, where results are withheld to protect student privacy rather than because of a testing failure. The school's grade-level classes are small enough that suppression is the expected outcome. A single combined proficiency snapshot is available across all grades: English language arts results show a majority of students reaching proficiency, while mathematics results show fewer than half at that level. Only one year of data is available, so there is no trend to speak of. Parents comparing academic performance should treat these figures cautiously given the small numbers behind them and ask the school for more detail on how cohorts progress from year to year.
Because the school ends at eighth grade, there is no graduation rate to report. That gap reflects the grade band, not a missing outcome. Similarly, there is no high school course access data, no Advanced Placement or dual-credit information, and no career-pathway detail, all of which are absent because they apply to grade levels this school does not cover.
The data provided does not include a locale brief, so there is no sourced description of the surrounding town or community context. Housing values, rent levels, and commute patterns are not available. The school's physical address and city are also not specified in the data we received. Program offerings, extracurriculars, and any specialized curriculum details were not provided. Information on discipline, attendance, staffing ratios, and Title I status is absent as well. The district brief notes that a search for recent changes turned up little of lasting impact, finding only directory and descriptive information.
What the available picture supports is this: Surry Village Charter School is a very small K-through-8 charter option in New Hampshire with a homogeneous student population, grade-level state testing results that are suppressed for privacy reasons, and a single-year proficiency snapshot that is stronger in English language arts than in mathematics. Families drawn to small schools where children are known individually may find the size appealing, but the thin public data means much of what a parent would want to know, from special education services to economic diversity to day-to-day program offerings, would need to come from direct conversation with the school.
