Summary:
The Epping Elementary School is the only elementary school in the Epping School District, serving approximately 464 students in Pre-K through Grade 5 at 17 Prospect Street in Epping, New Hampshire. Because there is only one elementary school in the district, families cannot compare schools within Epping; the most useful comparisons are with district and state averages and with the school’s results across grades and subjects.
The school’s strongest area is reading. Overall, 59% of students were proficient in reading in 2025–2026, slightly above the district’s 58% and the state’s 55%. Results were especially encouraging in the upper grades: 61% of fourth graders and 64% of fifth graders were proficient, compared with 52% and 58% statewide. Science was more mixed, with 34% proficiency—better than the district’s 30% but below the state’s 38%. The school also reports a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1, which may support small-group or individualized instruction, although that figure alone does not measure classroom quality.
Mathematics is the most important area for improvement. Only 31% of students were proficient overall, compared with 44% statewide, and the school trailed the state in every tested grade: 34% in Grade 3, 40% in Grade 4, and just 21% in Grade 5. Math proficiency declined six percentage points from the prior year, while reading improved seven points to 59% and science increased slightly. The school has a two-star rating and ranked around the 37th percentile in recent school rankings, indicating relatively modest overall performance despite its reading strengths. For families, the central takeaway is that Epping Elementary School appears strongest in literacy, while math support—particularly for students approaching middle school—deserves close attention.
