Summary:
Golden Brook Elementary School is the only elementary school listed in the Windham School District in Windham, New Hampshire, serving approximately 1,113 students from Pre-K through Grade 4. Because there is only one school in the district’s elementary-school list, parents cannot compare elementary schools within Windham; instead, the most useful comparisons are with district, state, and historical results.
Golden Brook is a strong-performing school overall. In 2025–2026, 70% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 66% districtwide and 44% statewide. Reading proficiency was 67%, above the state rate of 55% but below the district rate of 74%. The school ranked 29th out of 230 schools statewide, placing it in the 87th percentile, after ranking 43rd in 2024–2025 and 31st in 2023–2024. Its results also improved over the most recent year: mathematics increased from 66% to 70%, while reading rose from 61% to 67%. The reported student-teacher ratio is 17.9:1, and the free/reduced-price lunch rate is 2.7%, providing useful context when reviewing the school’s overall results.
Mathematics is the school’s clearest strength, especially in Grade 3, where 78% of students were proficient. Grade 4 mathematics proficiency was 62%, creating a notable 16-point drop between the two grades. Reading also declined from 71% in Grade 3 to 63% in Grade 4, although the decrease was smaller. These Grade 4 results are the main area parents may want to monitor, particularly as students prepare for later elementary and middle-school work. Overall, Golden Brook combines consistently high statewide rankings with performance well above New Hampshire averages, while reading relative to the district and Grade 4 achievement offer the clearest opportunities for continued improvement.
