Summary:

Shaker Regional School District serves about 1,137 students in four schools covering grades PK–12 in the Belmont and Canterbury area of New Hampshire. The district includes Belmont Elementary School for PK–4, Canterbury Elementary School for K–5, Belmont Middle School for grades 5–8, and Belmont High School for grades 9–12.

Canterbury Elementary School is the district’s strongest academic performer, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide with four stars. In 2025–2026, 63% of students were proficient in mathematics and 67% in reading, above both district and state results. Belmont Middle School is also a strong option, ranking in the 67th percentile with especially good eighth-grade results: 57% proficiency in mathematics and 71% in reading. It exceeded the district in mathematics, reading, and science overall. Its recent ranking improved, suggesting generally steady or improving performance.

Belmont Elementary School is closer to the district average, with 43% mathematics proficiency and 54% reading proficiency. Its results are mixed, including a notable need in third-grade mathematics. Belmont High School has the district’s strongest completion outcomes—a 91.2% graduation rate and 1.1% dropout rate—but its academic results need attention, particularly mathematics. Only 13% of students were proficient in both NH SAS mathematics and SAT mathematics, and the school’s ranking fell to the 21st percentile. Overall, the district’s clearest priority is improving high school mathematics and strengthening the transition from middle school to high school while preserving the practices supporting performance at Canterbury and Belmont Middle.
