Summary:
Antrim is a small New Hampshire community with two public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 8 through the Contoocook Valley School District; no public high school is listed in the city, so students attend high school elsewhere.
The two schools serve different grade levels and have different strengths. Antrim Elementary School serves pre-kindergarten through grade 4 and enrolls 133 students, while Great Brook School serves grades 5–8 and enrolls 224 students. Great Brook currently has the stronger overall profile, ranking in the 51st percentile among New Hampshire middle schools and earning three stars. Its reading proficiency was 59%, above the state rate of 55%, although mathematics was 38% and science was 31%, both below state averages. Antrim Elementary’s reading proficiency was a relatively competitive 54%, close to the state’s 55%, but its mathematics proficiency was also 38%. The schools have nearly identical student-teacher ratios, at about 8.2 to 8.3 students per teacher.
Recent trends are mixed. Great Brook improved substantially, rising from the 35th percentile in 2024–25 to the 51st percentile in 2025–26, helped by a 10-point increase in reading proficiency. Its main academic priorities are mathematics across grades 5–8 and science in grades 5 and 8. Antrim Elementary’s ranking remains around the 41st percentile after a significant decline from the 67th percentile in 2023–24. Its reading results improved, but mathematics fell, with an especially concerning gap between grade 3 proficiency of 53% and grade 4 proficiency of just 22%. For parents, Great Brook appears to be the stronger current performer, while Antrim Elementary’s most important area for further review is fourth-grade mathematics.
