Summary

Inter-Lakes Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Meredith, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 421 students. The school is part of the Inter-Lakes Cooperative School District, which is ranked 64 out of 158 districts in New Hampshire and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Inter-Lakes Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is generally below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (42%) and Reading (50%) were lower than the state (42% and 55%) and district (45% and 56%) averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in Science, with only 33% of students proficient or better, compared to the state and district averages of 38%. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student groups, such as Special Education students, is also a concern, as it ranked 55th out of 72 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating.
