Summary

Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E) is a rural public PK–8 school in Colebrook, New Hampshire, serving 189 students as part of the Colebrook School District. Its 9.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio is still relatively low, but higher than at nearby small schools, and 45.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is larger than the surrounding comparison schools, offering a broader grade and student base but not the exceptionally small classes found elsewhere.

Academic results are mixed. Reading is the clearest strength: 55% of students were proficient in 2025–26, matching the New Hampshire average and exceeding Pittsburg School (Elem) by 11 points and Stratford Public School by 16 points. Reading also improved substantially, rising from 35% proficiency in 2022–23 to 55% in 2025–26. Mathematics is a more serious concern: 22% of students were proficient, compared with 44% statewide. Colebrook ranked second among the nearby schools with current math results, behind Stewartstown Community School at 24%, but all remained well below the state average.

Math weakness is concentrated in grades 4–8, especially fifth grade at 10% and seventh grade at 14%. Science proficiency was also low at 23% and has remained largely flat over four years. The school’s statewide ranking has improved from the 9th percentile in 2021–22 to the 27th percentile in 2025–26, but it remains in the lower third of New Hampshire schools. For families, the overall picture is one of improving reading performance and solid local competitiveness, alongside a need for stronger, sustained support in mathematics and science.
