The school's proficiency rates on the NH SAS assessments are generally lower than the state averages, with 43% proficient or better in Mathematics, 38% in Reading, and 28% in Science, compared to state averages of 42%, 55%, and 38%, respectively. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 40.09%, but a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.8 compared to the state average.

The school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
