Summary:
Center Tuftonboro, New Hampshire, has one listed public school, Tuftonboro Central School, an elementary school serving kindergarten through Grade 6. The school enrolls 99 students and is part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District. Because it is the only public school in the city, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the most useful benchmarks are the district and New Hampshire statewide results.
Tuftonboro Central has a mixed academic profile. In 2025–2026, 42% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 43% in the district and 44% statewide. Reading performance was weaker: 49% were proficient, versus 54% in the district and 55% statewide. Grade 3 was a relative strength, with 57% proficiency in math and 52% in reading. Grade 6 reading was also strong at 57%, exceeding both the district and state. In contrast, Grade 5 was the clearest area of concern, with only 27% proficiency in math and 40% in reading. Grade 4 results were also below district and state levels in both subjects. The school’s 19% science proficiency rate in the reported 2024–2025 results was substantially below the district’s 34% and the state’s 38%.
For parents, the main takeaway is that performance varies considerably by grade rather than being uniformly strong or weak. The school’s all-grade results declined from the previous year, particularly in reading, which fell from 62% to 49%; however, small grade-level groups can cause sizable year-to-year changes. The school reports a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 to 1, which may support individualized attention. Its latest district ranking was 101st of 166 districts, at the 39th percentile, with a two-star rating. Families may want to ask about support in Grades 4 and 5, literacy and math intervention, science instruction, and whether student-growth data show improvement not captured by proficiency percentages alone.
