Epsom School District

The Epsom School District consists of a single elementary school, Epsom Central School, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 370 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally falls below the state averages for New Hampshire in key academic areas.

Epsom Central School's statewide ranking has ranged from 136th out of 224 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 167th out of 234 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are mostly below the state averages, with Math proficiency ranging from 16% to 52% across grade levels, compared to the state average of 38% to 53%. In Reading, the school's proficiency rates range from 45% to 60%, compared to the state average of 49% to 57%. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are 22% for 5th grade and 34% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 38% and 37%, respectively.

Despite these academic challenges, Epsom Central School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 20.81% suggests that it does not have a high concentration of students from low-income families, which could be a factor in its academic performance. Overall, the analysis of the Epsom Central School data indicates that the school faces inconsistent performance and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
