Summary

Keene High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Keene, New Hampshire, with 1,288 students in the Keene School District. As the largest high school among the nearby schools reviewed, it serves a broad regional community and currently ranks 34th out of 89 New Hampshire high schools, placing it in the state’s 62nd percentile. Its ranking has improved considerably since 2022–2023, when it ranked 54th.

Academically, Keene has a clear strength and a clear challenge. Reading is its strongest subject: 63% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 55% statewide. That was higher than nearby schools such as Conval Regional High School, Conant Middle High School, and Fall Mountain Regional High School. Mathematics is the main area needing attention, with 26% proficiency versus 44% statewide. Science was closer to average at 39%. Keene’s 89.3% graduation rate was above the state rate of 87%, although its 2.5% dropout rate was slightly higher than the state’s 2.3%.

The school’s student-teacher ratio is a reasonable 12.2, especially for a school of its size. Families should also look beyond the overall rating: performance varies significantly among student groups. Female students ranked in the 70th statewide percentile, while male students ranked in the 36th percentile. Students receiving special education services were a particular concern, with that subgroup ranking in the 12th percentile. Keene compares favorably with most nearby traditional high schools, while smaller schools such as Gathering Waters Charter School can show more volatile results because of their small enrollments. Overall, Keene offers strong reading outcomes and generally solid graduation results, but parents may want to ask about mathematics support, special education services, and efforts to improve outcomes for students who are struggling.
