Elementary Schools in Weare School District

The Weare School District has one elementary school, Center Woods School, serving approximately 377 students in Pre-K through Grade 3 in the Weare, New Hampshire area.

Because Center Woods is the district’s only elementary school, there are no other local elementary schools to compare directly. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 and serves a relatively small early-elementary population. Its recent academic results are encouraging compared with district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 56% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 38% across the district and 44% statewide. Reading proficiency was 53%, higher than the district’s 42% but slightly below the state’s 55%. Third-grade results were also slightly above statewide levels in both subjects, with 56% proficiency in mathematics and 53% in reading.

Center Woods also improved from the previous year, gaining 4 percentage points in mathematics and 5 points in reading. The reading improvement is especially notable because it narrowed the gap with the state considerably. However, families should also be aware that the school has a low reported statewide ranking—141st of 166 schools, in the 15th percentile—and a one-star rating. This ranking does not align neatly with the school’s recent test results and may use different years or additional measures. Since the school serves students only through Grade 3, the available schoolwide results are likely driven largely by third-grade testing. Overall, the data suggest that Center Woods is performing well relative to its district and showing positive academic momentum, particularly in mathematics and reading, while its broader statewide ranking remains a concern worth investigating further.
