Summary

Andover Elementary School is a small public school serving 165 students in grades K–8 in the rural community of Andover, New Hampshire. Its K–8 structure is unusual compared with nearby elementary schools that typically serve only grades K–5, so schoolwide comparisons include middle-school results and should be interpreted carefully. In 2025–2026, Andover ranked in the 31st percentile statewide and received a two-star rating. Proficiency was 42% in math, 42% in reading, and 20% in science—close to the state math rate but below the state in reading and science.

The school’s results vary significantly by grade. Third grade is a clear bright spot, with 80% proficiency in math and 73% in reading, while seventh grade also performed well in both subjects. In contrast, fourth- and fifth-grade math results were weak, and fifth-grade reading reached only 26%. Science is the most pressing concern: its 20% schoolwide proficiency rate was well below the 38% state rate and lower than results at Simonds Elementary School, Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School at New London, Webster Elementary School, and Sutton Central Elementary School. Math improved notably, rising to 42%, but reading has declined from 54% in 2022–2023 to 42% currently.

Andover’s overall ranking has fallen from the upper half of New Hampshire schools in 2020–2022 to the lower third in recent years. Nearby Kearsarge schools are especially strong comparison points, with substantially higher reading and science results, while Andover generally performs above Paul A. Smith School and is near Danbury Elementary School in some measures. The school has a favorable 10-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and its moderate student-need profile is not unusually high for the area. Families may want to look closely at grade-level supports, reading and science instruction, and how the school is addressing transitions between elementary and middle grades.
