Summary:
Ledyard Charter School is the only high school in this data set, serving grades 9–12 in Lebanon, New Hampshire, with 49 students and a 9.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio. As a small charter school, its percentages can change significantly when only a few students are added or removed from a testing or graduating group. The school also serves a community in which 57.14% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that many families may benefit from strong academic, counseling, and college-planning support.
For parents, the school’s results show both strengths and important concerns. Its 0% reported dropout rate is better than New Hampshire’s 2.3% rate, but its 70% graduation rate is well below the state’s 87%. Academically, reading is the strongest subject: 33% of students were proficient on the 2025–2026 NH SAS, compared with 55% statewide, and reading proficiency increased slightly from the prior year. Science proficiency was 18%, compared with 38% statewide. Mathematics is the most serious challenge, with 0% proficiency in both reported NH SAS years and 0% proficiency on the reported 11th-grade SAT mathematics measure. SAT reading proficiency was 33%, compared with 62% statewide.
The school ranked 165th out of 166 New Hampshire schools, placing it near the bottom of the current ranking, and its earlier rankings also show consistently low statewide standing. The low student-teacher ratio may allow for individualized attention, but it has not yet resulted in strong test performance. Parents considering the school should ask about mathematics intervention, course completion, attendance, credit recovery, student transfers, and how the school supports students who need additional time to graduate. Because the Ledyard Charter School district appears to consist of this single school, district results are not an independent comparison. Small-group testing counts and graduation-cohort details would also provide important context.
