Contoocook Valley School District

The Contoocook Valley School District in New Hampshire serves 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Peterborough Elementary School ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle to maintain strong test scores and rankings.

Peterborough Elementary stands out with its 4-star rating, high proficiency rates in math and reading, and relatively low free/reduced lunch rate. Other smaller schools, such as Hancock Elementary and Temple Elementary, also perform well, with Hancock ranking as high as 18th out of 244 elementary schools in the state in the past. However, some larger schools, like Great Brook and Antrim Elementary, have lower test scores and rankings, indicating a disparity in performance across the district.

The district's racial makeup is predominantly white, and student-teacher ratios vary, with some smaller elementary schools having better ratios than the high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 91st out of 161 districts in New Hampshire, addressing the equity concerns and disparities in performance between schools could be important areas of focus for the district's leadership to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
