Summary

Andover Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Andover, New Hampshire, serving 192 students. While the school has seen some academic challenges in recent years, there are opportunities for improvement.

Academically, Andover Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in Math, Reading, and Science proficiency on the NH SAS assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 35%, compared to the state average of 42%. The school's ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 39th out of 231 schools in 2017-2018 to 157th out of 234 schools in 2023-2024. Interestingly, nearby Simonds Elementary School in the Kearsarge Regional School District outperformed Andover in both Math and Reading proficiency during the same period.

Another notable trend is the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 22.01% in 2021-2022 to 31.89% in 2022-2023. This suggests a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. The school's leadership and the Andover School District should closely examine these issues and develop a comprehensive plan to address the root causes and improve student outcomes.
