Summary

Disnard Elementary School is a public K–5 school in Claremont, New Hampshire, serving 254 students in a community with higher-than-average student needs. The school is part of the Claremont School District, which ranks near the bottom statewide. Disnard’s student-teacher ratio is 9.7:1, and 52.76% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing important context when comparing it with schools in nearby communities.

The most important academic concern is reading. In 2025–26, 24% of Disnard students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide and 31% across the district. Mathematics was somewhat stronger at 28%, but still below the state rate of 44%. Third grade was especially concerning, with 14% proficiency in reading and 22% in math; fifth-grade reading was also low at 21%. Compared with the similarly sized, same-district Maple Avenue School, Disnard performed only slightly lower in math but 17 points lower in reading overall, including a 30-point gap in fifth-grade reading. The differences are even larger compared with Sunapee Central School and Plainfield Elementary School, although those schools serve communities with considerably lower rates of economic need.

Disnard’s statewide ranking fell sharply, from the 27th percentile in 2024–25 to the 4th percentile in 2025–26, as reading declined by 18 percentage points and math by 9 points. This appears to be a broad schoolwide challenge rather than an issue limited to one student group, since reported subgroup rankings were also very low. The school is not the weakest local performer in every subject: it outperformed Richards Elementary School and several nearby schools in math. Overall, the data point to literacy improvement, early-grade intervention, and a closer look at the causes of the recent decline as key priorities.
