Summary:
The Hinsdale Elementary School is the only elementary school in the Hinsdale School District, serving students from Pre-K through fifth grade in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. The school has 242 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.2 to 1, offering families a relatively small-school setting with potentially close connections among students, teachers, and staff.
Academic results show that Hinsdale Elementary is performing better than the district averages in all three reported subjects, although it remains below New Hampshire averages. In 2025–2026, 31% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 20% districtwide and 44% statewide. Reading proficiency was 39%, compared with 33% in the district and 55% statewide, while science proficiency was 26%, compared with 20% districtwide and 38% statewide. Third grade was the strongest grade relative to state results, especially in reading, where proficiency was 43%. Fourth grade was the clearest concern, with 22% proficiency in mathematics and 33% in reading. Fifth-grade mathematics and reading results improved somewhat but remained below state levels.
Recent trends are encouraging: mathematics proficiency increased from 25% to 31%, reading rose substantially from 27% to 39%, and science improved from 22% to 26% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Reading shows the strongest momentum, though the school still has a sizable gap compared with statewide performance. About 42.56% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, an important consideration when evaluating the resources and supports families may need. Overall, parents can expect a small elementary school with favorable staffing levels, improving academic results, and particular opportunities for additional support in fourth-grade mathematics, reading across the upper elementary grades, and science.
