Summary

Josiah Bartlett Elementary School is a small-town school in Bartlett, New Hampshire, serving about 165 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade through the Bartlett School District. Its student-teacher ratio is a relatively favorable 9.7-to-1, which may support smaller instructional groups. However, the school currently ranks in roughly the bottom fifth of New Hampshire schools, and its district ranks similarly statewide. Families should also know that the school’s performance has changed considerably: it was among the state’s higher-ranked schools earlier in the past decade but has ranked near the lower end in recent years.

Current academic results are mixed. About 39% of students are proficient in mathematics and 46% in reading, both below New Hampshire averages of 44% and 55%. Science is a comparative strength, with 42% proficiency versus 38% statewide, and science improved substantially in the most recent year. Mathematics also rose from 28% to 39%, while reading remained nearly flat. Results vary sharply by grade: seventh grade stands out, with mathematics and reading proficiency above state averages, while fourth-grade reading and mathematics and sixth-grade mathematics are significant concerns. Eighth-grade science is another area needing attention.

Compared with nearby schools, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School performs considerably better than Kenneth A. Brett School in all three tested subjects and exceeds Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School in mathematics and science, although Northeast Woodland has stronger reading results. It trails Lin-Wood Public School across all three subjects. Very small schools such as Waterville Valley Elementary School and Jackson Grammar School post higher scores, but their much smaller enrollments make direct comparisons less reliable. Overall, the clearest priorities are strengthening reading, addressing fourth- and sixth-grade mathematics, and extending recent science gains.
