The school enrolls 168 students and has a 24:1 student-teacher ratio. About 18% of students—approximately 30 children—participate in the free or reduced-price lunch program. Because this is the only school in the Mill Falls Charter School district, there are no direct school-to-school comparisons within the area.
Academically, Mill Falls Charter School is strongest in reading and science. In 2025–2026, 63% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide, while 54% were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide. Science is the clearest standout, with a 16-point advantage over New Hampshire and an 8-point improvement from the prior year. Reading is especially strong in the upper grades: proficiency reached 74% in Grade 4, 71% in Grade 5, and 64% in Grade 6. Grade 3 reading was lower at 46%, slightly below the state result, so parents may want to ask about early literacy support and the transition into upper elementary grades.
Math is the main area needing improvement. Overall proficiency was 42%, just below the 44% state rate, and the school trailed the state in Grades 3, 4, and 6. Fifth-grade math was a positive exception at 50%, compared with 43% statewide, but sixth grade fell to 36%. Overall, the school’s results suggest a positive academic environment with notable strengths in science and upper-grade reading, alongside a need for more consistent math performance. The school ranked around the 60th percentile and received three stars, placing it above the midpoint of its comparison group, though not among the highest-ranked schools.
