Summary
Maple Avenue School is a public elementary school in Claremont, New Hampshire, serving 264 students in kindergarten through fifth grade within the Claremont School District. The school serves a community with relatively high economic need, with about 49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Maple Avenue has a favorable 9.1 student-teacher ratio, but its overall performance remains below the state average: it ranks 203rd out of 230 New Hampshire schools, in approximately the 12th percentile.
Maple Avenue is one of the stronger performers within its district. In 2025–26, 30% of students were proficient in math, 41% in reading, and 24% in science—higher than the district averages in all three subjects. It also outperformed nearby Disnard Elementary School, especially in reading, where Maple led 41% to 24%. Fifth-grade reading was a particular strength at 51%, suggesting that many students make progress by the end of elementary school. Math and science have also improved from recent lows, although results remain below statewide rates of 44% in math, 55% in reading, and 38% in science.
Performance is uneven across grades and student groups. Fourth-grade math, at 21% proficiency, is the clearest academic concern, while fifth-grade science remains low at 24%. Maple also has a substantial difference in subgroup effectiveness: its ranking for female students was around the 37th percentile, compared with only the 2nd percentile for male students, warranting careful review of instruction, engagement, attendance, and support services. Among nearby schools, Plainfield Elementary School is a notably stronger comparison, with 53% math, 64% reading, and 44% science proficiency, though its student population has substantially lower economic need. Overall, Maple Avenue appears to be a relative district leader but still has important opportunities to strengthen math, science, and outcomes for male students.
