Summary:
Campton, New Hampshire, has one listed public school, Campton Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. With 265 students, it functions as both an elementary and middle-grades school, so families do not have multiple local public schools to compare within the area. The school reports a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8:1 and a free- or reduced-price lunch rate of 30.19%.
Campton Elementary School performs above New Hampshire averages in all three reported subjects. In 2025–2026, 57% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide; 63% were proficient in reading, compared with 55%; and 48% were proficient in science, compared with 38%. Middle grades are a particular strength: math proficiency reached 69% in sixth grade and 67% in seventh grade, while reading proficiency was 70% in seventh grade and 67% in eighth grade. Fifth-grade reading was the strongest individual result at 77%. The clearest area for improvement is third grade, where both math and reading results were six points below state averages.
The school ranked 77th among 230 New Hampshire schools in 2025–2026, placing it roughly in the top third statewide, while the Campton School District ranked 47th of 166 districts. The school’s ranking was higher in 2024–2025, but recent achievement results remain broadly stable: math increased three points and science increased five points, while reading declined by only one point. For parents, the overall picture is of a small, above-average PK–8 school with especially strong middle-grade outcomes, although third-grade performance and science results are worth monitoring over time.
