Summary

Ellis School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fremont, New Hampshire, with 363 students enrolled. While the school is part of the Fremont School District, which is ranked 68 out of 158 districts in the state, Ellis School's academic performance is generally below the state average across all grades and subjects.

The school's proficiency rates on the NH SAS assessments are a concern, with only 43% of all students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 42%. In 3rd grade mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is even lower at 21%, significantly below the state's 53%. While the school's reading proficiency rates are slightly better at 58% for all grades, 3rd grade reading proficiency is still below the state average at 38% versus 49%. Science proficiency is also an issue, with the school's all-grades rate at 33%, compared to the state's 38%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 120th out of 224 elementary schools to as low as 176th out of 211.

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
