Summary:

The Kensington School District in New Hampshire is home to one standout elementary school, Kensington Elementary School. This school has consistently ranked in the top 17% of elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Kensington Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with students significantly outperforming the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 56% in mathematics and 69% in reading, compared to state averages of 42% and 55% respectively. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade students outperformed the state average in science by 26 percentage points.

With a small student population of 143 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, Kensington Elementary School appears to provide a personalized and supportive learning environment for its students. However, the school's low free/reduced lunch rate of 8.39% may suggest that the student population is not representative of the broader community, potentially indicating equity concerns in access to this high-performing school.
