The city of Lempster, New Hampshire is home to a single elementary school, Lempster Community School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 123 students. The school is part of the Lempster School District, which is ranked 107 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lempster Community School's academic performance is mixed, with mathematics proficiency (28%) significantly lower than the state average (42%), while reading proficiency (49%) is slightly below the state average (55%). However, the school's science proficiency (41%) exceeds the state average (38%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is slightly lower than the state average. Additionally, a relatively high proportion (41.46%) of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The school's performance has been declining in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 71 out of 237 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 148 out of 224 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its mathematics instruction and curriculum, as well as addressing the challenges posed by the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance is generally lower than both the Lempster School District and the state averages across various academic measures, indicating that the school may be underperforming compared to its peers and the broader educational landscape in New Hampshire.
