New Boston School District

New Boston School District in New Boston, New Hampshire, has one school serving 459 students from pre-kindergarten through Grade 6: New Boston Central School.

New Boston Central School is a strong-performing elementary school with a four-star rating and a district ranking of 31st out of 166 districts, placing it in the 81st percentile statewide. In 2025–2026, 56% of students were proficient in mathematics, 71% in reading, and 61% in science. These results were higher than New Hampshire averages in every subject, by 12, 16, and 23 percentage points, respectively. Reading is the school’s most consistent strength: proficiency exceeded the state in every tested grade, including 71% in Grade 6. Science also showed a notable improvement, rising from 40% proficiency the previous year to 61%.

The main area for parents to watch is upper-elementary mathematics. Math proficiency was strong in Grade 3 at 75% and Grade 4 at 65%, but declined to 41% in Grade 5 and 45% in Grade 6. Grade 5 math was slightly below the state average, even though Grade 5 science performance was strong. The school’s 13.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio may support individual attention, while the reported 7.63% free-or-reduced-price lunch participation provides additional context for interpreting schoolwide results. With no separate middle or high school listed, families should view this single-campus school as the district’s complete PK–6 program. Overall, the school offers strong reading and science outcomes, solid statewide performance, and a specific opportunity to strengthen mathematics in the upper grades.
