Summary:

The city of Colebrook, New Hampshire is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E) and Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (H). These schools are part of the Colebrook School District.

Based on the data, the standout school appears to be Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (H), the high school. This school has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 65th out of 85 New Hampshire high schools in 2022-2023 to 23rd out of 86 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the high school has a strong 89.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.5% dropout rate. In contrast, the elementary school, Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E), generally lags behind the district and state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency, with some exceptions in 4th and 7th-grade reading.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E) at 9.1 and Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (H) at 8.9. However, the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 44.04% compared to 36.04% at the high school. This disparity in socioeconomic factors may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the elementary school level, and could present opportunities for collaboration and shared best practices between the two schools to improve overall district performance.
