Summary

Epping Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 467 students in grades PK-5 in Epping, New Hampshire. The school is part of the Epping School District, which is ranked 89 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Epping Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state average in math, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's math proficiency rate for all grades was 37% compared to the state average of 42%. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with its rankings for female, male, and white student performance all in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools. Its ranking for special education students is particularly low, placing it in the bottom 30% of schools. Additionally, Epping Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 14.63% to 20.61% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Lincoln Street Elementary, Newfields Elementary, and Swasey Central School, Epping Elementary lags significantly in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests the school is struggling to keep pace with its peers, and there may be potential equity concerns and issues with how resources are being allocated to support the needs of its diverse student population.

I feel that the curriculum is very advanced and therefore puts too much pressure on elementary students to accomplish the work. When a 2nd grade student doesn't "enjoy" school, it is not going to be a good journey through becoming a successful student:( Close Quote

From the dedication of the principal, teachers, and staff, to the wonderful activities and school events, Epping Elementary is a excellent school! We have been so impressed with the level of community and parent involvement, and our child and his friends are thriving. Truly a great school in a great town, and getting better every year.
