Summary

Simonds Elementary School is a small K–5 school in the Warner, New Hampshire, community, serving about 132 students through the Kearsarge Regional School District. The school has an 8.3-to-1 student–teacher ratio and is currently rated five stars, with a statewide ranking of 14th out of 230 elementary schools, placing it in the 94th percentile.

Recent academic results are a major strength. In 2025–26, 78% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 52% across the district and 44% statewide. Reading proficiency was 74%, and science proficiency was 61%—also well above district and state averages. Simonds leads its same-district comparison schools, including Sutton Central Elementary School and Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School - Bradford, in all-grade mathematics and science. Its mathematics results are especially consistent, with 88% proficiency in grade 3, 83% in grade 4, and 68% in grade 5. Reading is also strong, although Salisbury Elementary School reports a higher reading rate of 83%.

The school’s statewide rank has improved dramatically, rising from 122nd in 2022–23 to 14th in 2025–26. Mathematics increased from 44% to 78% proficiency during that period, while reading rose from 53% to 74%. Simonds also compares favorably with nearby schools such as Henniker Community School and Webster Elementary School. Families should note that science scores have fluctuated from year to year, and the school’s small enrollment can make annual results more sensitive to individual student cohorts. Even with that caution, Simonds currently stands out for strong achievement, substantial recent improvement, and a close-support environment.
