The city of Loudon, New Hampshire is home to two schools: Loudon Elementary School and Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School. Loudon Elementary School serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade, while Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School is a middle school serving grades 6-8.

Loudon Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 157th out of 224 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 180th out of 234 in 2023-2024. Its performance on state assessments is also mixed, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in many subject areas. In contrast, Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School has a very small student population of only 45 students, which likely allows for more personalized attention and support.

The two schools also differ in their student demographics, with Loudon Elementary School having a higher percentage of students from low-income families (23.36% free/reduced lunch recipients) compared to Benjamin Franklin Academy Chartered Public School (11.11% free/reduced lunch recipients).
