Summary

Ellis School is a public school in Fremont, New Hampshire, serving about 353 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in a small southeastern New Hampshire community. As part of the Fremont School District, it offers a broader grade span than most nearby elementary schools. The school’s latest statewide ranking places it at the 23rd percentile, or 176th among 230 New Hampshire schools. That is a significant change from 2023–24, when it ranked at the 50th percentile, suggesting that recent results deserve close attention.

The clearest academic concerns are mathematics and reading. Overall proficiency is 35% in math and 44% in reading, compared with 44% and 55% statewide. Fourth-grade reading is a particularly serious outlier, with only 17% of students meeting standards, although reading results improve substantially in grades five through eight. Math performance is weaker across nearly every tested grade, ranging from 27% in sixth grade to 46% in seventh grade. Science is a relative strength: 41% of students are proficient, slightly above the 38% state average. Among nearby schools, Chester Academy is the most useful grade-span comparison because it also serves prekindergarten through eighth grade; it reports stronger math and reading results but similar science performance. Nearby Swasey Central School and East Kingston Elementary School have especially high math and reading proficiency.

There are also some encouraging features. The student–teacher ratio is a favorable 9:1, lower than ratios reported by several nearby schools, and upper-grade reading performance is considerably stronger than fourth-grade results. The school’s science performance and earlier improvement—reaching the statewide median in 2023–24—show that stronger outcomes are possible. The most important questions for families and school leaders are how to strengthen math instruction across grades three through eight, address the fourth-grade literacy gap, and understand the recent decline in reading and math. Reviewing attendance, curriculum changes, intervention services, staffing stability, and support for students with additional learning needs may help explain the uneven results.

My children love Ellis School and they are all doing wonderful in their classes. There are many challenging classes at this school, and tons of extra programs are offered after school. My son is graduating with one High School Credit for an Advanced Math Program he is taking with a group at Ellis! That in my book, is fabulous! Close Quote
