Schools in Nottingham, NH

Nottingham, New Hampshire, has one public school, Nottingham Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade in the local community, so families do not have separate public elementary, middle, or high schools listed in this data set. The school enrolls 527 students and has a favorable 13.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio. It is part of the Nottingham School District, which ranks 37th out of 166 districts statewide, placing it in the 78th percentile.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that Nottingham Elementary School performs above New Hampshire averages in all three reported subjects. In 2025–2026, 67% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 44% statewide; reading proficiency was 64%, compared with 55% statewide; and science proficiency was 47%, compared with 38% statewide. Mathematics is the school’s clearest strength, especially in grades 6–8, where proficiency ranged from 71% to 79%. Reading was also very strong in sixth and eighth grades, at 79% and 77%, respectively. The reported free or reduced-price lunch rate is 9.11%, though academic results reflect many factors and this figure alone does not explain performance.

There are also areas worth monitoring. Fifth-grade reading proficiency was 51%, seven points below the state average, although results rose sharply to 79% in sixth grade. Science remained above the state average but declined from 58% in 2024–2025 to 47% in 2025–2026, the largest year-to-year drop among the subjects. The school’s ranking also slipped from the 74th percentile to the 70th percentile, while its rating changed from four stars to three. Even so, Nottingham Elementary School remains an above-average option, with particularly strong upper-grade mathematics and reading results.
