Summary:
Nottingham School District has one school, Nottingham Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Nottingham, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 527 students, has a 13.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and is part of a district ranked 37th out of 166 districts statewide, placing it around the top 22% with a four-star rating. Because it is the district’s only school, its results represent the district as a whole.
Nottingham Elementary School is a strong academic option overall, particularly in mathematics. In 2025–2026, 67% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide. Reading proficiency was 64%, compared with 55% statewide, while science proficiency was 47%, compared with 38% statewide. The strongest results were in the upper grades: 8th-grade math reached 79%, 6th-grade math reached 76%, and 6th-grade reading reached 79%. Eighth-grade reading was also strong at 77%, suggesting that students in grades 6–8 are performing especially well compared with state averages.
Performance is less consistent in the elementary grades, making grades 3–5 the clearest area for attention. Fifth grade was the main relative weakness, with 55% proficient in math, 51% in reading, and 40% in science; fifth-grade reading was the only reported result below the state average. Science also deserves monitoring because overall proficiency fell from 58% to 47% year over year, even though it remains above the state rate. Reading declined modestly from 67% to 64%, while math remained nearly unchanged. For families, the overall picture is of a high-performing single-campus school with particularly strong middle-grade outcomes and an opportunity to strengthen younger students’ reading, math foundations, and science performance.
