Proposed Comparative Districts

by Wayne Gersen, 3/30/2007

I chose the 17 out of state schools from the Menchick study, attempting to find districts of comparable size. I chose Bow and Souhegan (Amherst, NH) from New Hampshire because they scored 2nd and 3rd on the assessments used in the UNH study. I chose Oyster River because like Hanover, Durham is an affluent college town. The lists follow:

Connecticut

• Avon
• Brookfield
• Weston

Maine

• Falmouth

Massachusetts

• Harvard
• Norwell
• Wayland
• Westwood
• Winchester

New Hampshire

• Bow
• Souhegan
• Oyster River

New Jersey

• Berkeley Heights
• Hopewell Regional
• New Providence Borough
• Princeton Regional
• Springfield Township

New York

• Irvington
• Rye City

Rhode Island

• East Greenwich Schools
