Summary

Beaver Meadow School is a public elementary school in Concord, New Hampshire, serving 362 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 within the Concord School District. Located on Sewalls Falls Road, it is one of the larger elementary schools in the comparison group. The school’s latest ranking places it near the middle of New Hampshire schools, at the 50th percentile, but its recent improvement is notable after several years of much lower rankings.

The latest assessment results are generally encouraging. In 2025–2026, Beaver Meadow students reached 45% proficiency in mathematics, 55% in reading, and 43% in science. Math was slightly above the state average, reading matched both the state and district averages, and science exceeded the state average by 5 percentage points. Compared with the previous year, reading rose 14 points and science rose 22 points. Science is a particular strength: Beaver Meadow was nearly even with nearby Christa McAuliffe School, Abbot-Downing School, and Broken Ground School. The school also has a 12.0 student-teacher ratio and a 37.85% free/reduced-price lunch rate, useful context when comparing it with nearby schools.

The clearest concern is fourth grade, where only 36% of students were proficient in both math and reading. This contrasts with stronger results in third-grade reading, at 61%, and fifth-grade reading, at 66%, suggesting a focused grade-level challenge rather than uniformly weak performance. Beaver Meadow trails the strongest Concord schools in math, including Christa McAuliffe’s 59% and Abbot-Downing’s 55%, but it performs better than nearby Strong Foundations Charter School in math and reading. It also compares favorably with Loudon Elementary School, Boscawen Elementary School, and Penacook Elementary School in several subjects. Overall, Beaver Meadow’s recovery is promising, with sustained fourth-grade math and reading improvement the most important next step.
