Summary:
The Sanborn Regional School District has one high school, Sanborn Regional High School, serving grades 9–12 in Kingston, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 448 students and has a 12.8-to-1 student–teacher ratio, offering families a moderately sized high school with relatively favorable staffing levels. Because it is the district’s only high school, there are no other local high schools to compare directly.
Sanborn Regional High School shows several encouraging outcomes for students. Its 90.9% graduation rate is above the New Hampshire average of 87.0%, while its 1.6% dropout rate is below the state rate of 2.3%. Reading is the school’s strongest academic subject: 61% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 58% in the district and 55% statewide. Grade 11 SAT reading performance was also competitive, at 61%, nearly matching the state’s 62%. The school’s ranking has improved over three years, moving from the 24th to the 39th percentile, and its rating increased from one star to two.
The most important concern for families is academic performance in mathematics and science. Only 21% of students were proficient in all-grade mathematics, compared with 50% in the district and 44% statewide. Grade 11 SAT mathematics proficiency was also 21%, nine points below the state average. Science proficiency was 28%, below both the district’s 37% and the state’s 38%, while Grade 11 science performance trailed the state by 12 points. Reading proficiency declined five points year over year, although it remained the school’s strongest area. Overall, the school appears effective at helping students stay enrolled and graduate, but parents should ask about math and science interventions, course support, and how the school is addressing these achievement gaps.
