Summary:
Kingston, New Hampshire, has three listed schools serving students from prekindergarten through Grade 12: Daniel J. Bakie School for PK–2, Sanborn Regional Middle School for Grades 6–8, and Sanborn Regional High School for Grades 9–12. Together, they enroll 968 students and are part of the Sanborn Regional School District, which ranks 69th among 166 New Hampshire districts and has a three-star rating. No standalone Kingston school serving Grades 3–5 appears in the provided list.
Sanborn Regional Middle School is the strongest current academic performer and has shown the most impressive recent progress. Its ranking rose from the 38th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 59th percentile in 2025–2026, while proficiency improved in mathematics, reading, and science. It now performs slightly above the state in math and science and nearly matches the state in reading. By comparison, Sanborn Regional High School has improved steadily but remains at the 39th percentile. Its major strengths are a 90.9% graduation rate, a 1.6% dropout rate, and reading proficiency of 61%, which exceeds the state rate.
The most important concern for families is Sanborn Regional High School’s academic performance in mathematics and science. Math proficiency is 21%, 23 points below the state, while science proficiency is 28%, 10 points below the state. This contrasts sharply with the middle school’s 46% math and 42% science proficiency, suggesting that the transition into high school deserves attention. Daniel J. Bakie School has the smallest student-teacher ratio at 7.4 and the lowest reported free/reduced-price lunch rate, but its available ranking data is older and does not support a current academic comparison. Overall, the district’s middle-school momentum and high-school graduation results are encouraging, while high-school math and science should be key improvement priorities.
