Summary

East Kingston Elementary School is a small public school serving 108 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in the close-knit town of East Kingston, New Hampshire, as part of the East Kingston School District. The school currently ranks 18th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it in the 92nd percentile and earning a five-star rating. Its small enrollment and 6.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for individualized attention, although the ratio alone does not measure teaching quality.

Academic results are well above state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–2026, 70% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide; 77% were proficient in reading, compared with 55%; and 75% were proficient in science, compared with 38%. Science is the school’s clearest strength, while fifth-grade reading is especially impressive at 92% proficiency. East Kingston has also improved substantially since 2022–2023, gaining 25 percentage points in math, 24 in reading, and 37 in science. Its ranking has risen from 133rd in 2020–2021 to 18th today.

Compared with nearby schools, East Kingston combines strong performance across subjects with the highest science result among the main elementary comparisons. Its reading rate is similar to Swasey Central School and higher than Lincoln Street Elementary School, Kensington Elementary School, and Memorial School. Math is a relative area for continued attention: Swasey Central School and South Hampton Barnard School report higher overall math proficiency. Because East Kingston is small, yearly results can shift more noticeably with the performance of individual student groups.
