Summary:
The East Kingston School District has one elementary school, East Kingston Elementary School, serving kindergarten through Grade 5 in the small community of East Kingston, New Hampshire.
With 108 students, East Kingston Elementary offers a small-school setting and reports a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 to 1. Academic results are well above New Hampshire averages in every tested subject for 2025–2026: 70% of students were proficient in mathematics, 77% in reading, and 75% in science, compared with statewide rates of 44%, 55%, and 38%. Science stands out as the school’s greatest advantage, while reading is its strongest subject overall. The school’s ranking has also improved steadily, moving from 42nd in 2023–2024 to 18th in 2025–2026, reaching the 92nd percentile and a five-star rating. About 8.33% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing additional context for understanding the school’s student population and resources.
Performance has improved notably over the past year, especially in science, which increased from 55% to 75% proficiency, while reading rose from 69% to 77% and mathematics remained nearly steady. Grade-level results show that third-grade mathematics and reading were both 76%, while fourth-grade results were 70% in each subject. Fifth-grade reading was especially strong at 92%, but fifth-grade mathematics was lower at 58%, making upper-grade math the clearest area to monitor. Even that result exceeded the statewide fifth-grade mathematics rate of 43%. Because the school is small, individual grade results can change noticeably from year to year, but overall the data describe a high-performing and improving school with particularly strong reading and science outcomes.
