Summary

Epping High School is a small public school serving 213 students in grades 9–12 in the community of Epping, New Hampshire, with a notably low 9.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio. The school ranks in the middle of New Hampshire high schools, at 40th out of 89, while the broader Epping School District ranks lower, at 106th out of 166 districts. Its small size may allow for more individual attention, but it can also make yearly results more variable.

The school’s strongest results are in student completion and reading. Epping reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate in 2024–25, both better than nearby schools such as Dover Senior High School, Sanborn Regional High School, and Raymond High School. Reading proficiency reached 69%, well above the 55% statewide rate and comparable to stronger nearby schools including Exeter High School. Epping’s SAT reading results were also above the state average, suggesting that literacy is a meaningful school strength.

Science is the clearest concern. Only 19% of students were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide and substantially lower than results at Oyster River High School, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, and Newmarket Junior-Senior High School. Mathematics was also below the state average, at 29% proficiency, although it exceeded results at Sanborn Regional High School. Overall, Epping offers strong persistence, favorable class-size conditions, and solid reading performance, but families should view science and mathematics as important areas for improvement.

Open Quote Garbage school. Teachers are usually late to classes, on their laptops during class and a few have shady pasts. I went here for all 4 years and graduated with high honors but only because I had to survive this dump. Don't send your child here unless you hate them Close Quote
