Summary:
Mountain Village Charter School is the only school in this list, serving students in grades 1–8 in Plymouth, New Hampshire, with 117 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.7 to 1. The Mountain Village Charter School offers a small-school setting, and its results vary considerably by subject and grade. About 14% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Since there is only one school in the Mountain Village Charter School district, families cannot compare it with another nearby school in this list; the most useful comparisons are with New Hampshire statewide results.
Academically, reading is stronger than mathematics, although both subjects trail the state overall. In 2025–2026, 49% of students were proficient in reading compared with 55% statewide, while 27% were proficient in math compared with 44% statewide. Science was a relative strength, with 46% proficiency versus 38% statewide. Results differed sharply by grade: seventh grade stood out with 71% proficiency in reading and 57% in math, both above state averages. Fifth-grade reading was nearly at the state level, but fifth-grade math showed 0% proficiency. Third-grade math was also weak at 14%, compared with 54% statewide. These grade-level differences suggest that families should look beyond the schoolwide averages when evaluating academic performance.
The school’s recent trend deserves attention. Math proficiency remained at 27% from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while reading fell from 65% to 49% and science declined slightly from 48% to 46%. Its historical ranking dropped from the 43rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 15th percentile in 2025–2026, and its rating fell from two stars to one. Because the school is small, results can change noticeably when a few students or a single grade cohort perform differently from the previous year. Parents may want to ask about math intervention, the reasons for the recent reading decline, and whether the successful seventh-grade practices are being used in other grades.
