Plymouth School District

Plymouth School District has one school, Plymouth Elementary School, serving approximately 365 students from Pre-K through eighth grade in Plymouth, New Hampshire. This combined elementary and middle-grade campus has a low reported student-teacher ratio of 8.7:1 and a free- or reduced-price lunch rate of 33.15%, providing important context for understanding its results.

Plymouth Elementary School performs above the New Hampshire average overall. In 2025–2026, 62% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide, and 52% were proficient in mathematics, compared with 44% statewide. Reading is the school’s clearest strength: Plymouth exceeded the state in every tested grade, with especially strong results in seventh grade at 72% and fourth grade at 67%. Mathematics was also strong in several grades, particularly seventh grade at 64%, eighth grade at 57%, fourth grade at 61%, and fifth grade at 54%. Seventh grade stands out as the strongest overall grade in both reading and mathematics.

Performance is not equally strong in every subject or grade. Mathematics results were below the state average in third grade, at 43%, and sixth grade, at 38%, suggesting areas for additional support. Science is the main academic concern: overall proficiency was 39%, only one point above the state, and declined seven points from the previous year. The school’s ranking also fell from 53rd of 224 schools in 2024–2025 to 89th of 230 in 2025–2026, although it remained above the middle of the statewide comparison. For families, the key picture is a small, single-campus district with strong and consistent reading performance, generally above-average mathematics results, and opportunities to improve science and selected mathematics grades.
