Emerson Elementary School has the highest reading proficiency rates across all grades, outperforming the district and state averages.

The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools scoring below the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency. The high school and middle school are the lowest-performing schools, while the elementary schools show more variability in their performance. There is a correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, as seen in schools like Troy Elementary and Monadnock Regional Middle School. The smaller schools, like Gilsum STEAM Academy and Troy Elementary, tend to have lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their relatively stronger performance in some areas.
