Epping School District

Epping School District serves students from prekindergarten through Grade 12 in three schools in the Epping, New Hampshire area: Epping Elementary School, Epping Middle School, and Epping High School. The district enrolls about 871 students and has a two-star statewide rating, ranking 106th of 166 districts.

Epping High School is the strongest overall standout. It ranks 40th of 89 high schools, placing around the 55th percentile, and has improved considerably from its position three years ago. Families may especially value its 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Reading is a major strength, with 69% proficiency, well above the state result. However, mathematics and science need improvement, particularly science, where proficiency is 19%. Epping Elementary School has the district’s largest enrollment and offers solid reading results: 59% of students are proficient, above the state average. Reading is strongest in Grades 4 and 5, but mathematics is a significant concern, especially in Grade 5, where proficiency is 21%.

Epping Middle School has a notable bright spot in Grade 7 reading, where 68% of students are proficient—11 points above the state. Its science performance is also relatively competitive, but mathematics is weaker in Grades 6 and 8. The middle school’s ranking has declined over three years, making it an important area to watch. Across the district, reading is consistently stronger than mathematics and science, while math trails the state at every school. Student-teacher ratios range from 11.4 at the elementary school to 9.2 at the high school, suggesting relatively small school settings. Overall, Epping offers strong literacy and high school completion outcomes, with mathematics, science, and middle-school performance the clearest priorities for improvement.
