Summary:

Winnisquam Regional School District includes five schools serving students from pre-K through grade 12 in the Winnisquam area of New Hampshire, with about 1,176 students across two elementary schools, a small early-learning center, a middle school, and a high school. Overall, the district ranks 75th of 166 New Hampshire districts, placing it slightly above the statewide midpoint with a 3-star rating. The district’s two secondary schools enroll the most students, while the Winnisquam Early Learning Center serves about 30 young children and has no reported standardized test results.

Sanbornton Central School is the district’s strongest overall academic performer, ranking in the 72nd percentile and earning four stars. Its standout area is mathematics, with 67% of students proficient, well above district and state results. Southwick School has lower overall performance than Sanbornton but is the district’s most improved elementary school. Its math and reading proficiency both reached 54% in 2025–2026 after substantial gains from the prior year. These two elementary schools serve similar grade levels, making their contrasting profiles useful for families comparing consistent academic strength at Sanbornton with strong recent improvement at Southwick.

Winnisquam Regional High School has shown the district’s most dramatic ranking improvement, moving from the 9th to the 57th percentile over two years. Reading now matches the state rate, science is slightly above it, graduation is 90.2%, and the reported dropout rate is zero. Mathematics still warrants closer review because its latest available result was very low and no current all-grade result is reported. Winnisquam Regional Middle School remains the clearest improvement priority: mathematics is moderately competitive, but reading proficiency is 39%, below both district and state levels, and math declines notably in grades 7 and 8. Families may therefore see the district’s strongest current academic results at Sanbornton and the high school, promising momentum at Southwick, and the greatest need for targeted support at the middle school.
