Colebrook School District

The Colebrook School District in New Hampshire consists of two schools: Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E), which serves grades K-8, and Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (H), the high school. The district has shown a mix of academic performance, with the high school being a standout performer and the elementary school lagging behind district and state averages in key areas.

The high school, Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (H), has demonstrated significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 65th out of 85 New Hampshire high schools in 2022-2023 to 23rd out of 86 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school also boasts a strong 89.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.5% dropout rate. In contrast, the elementary school, Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E), generally lags behind the district and state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency.

The data suggests a disparity in academic performance between the elementary and high school within the Colebrook School District. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Both schools, however, maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, indicating that class size is not a significant factor in the performance differences. The district's focus on improving the elementary school's academic outcomes could be crucial in ensuring all students in the Colebrook School District receive a high-quality education.
