Summary

Lafayette Regional School is a small public school serving 98 students in grades K–6 in Franconia, a rural community in New Hampshire’s White Mountains region. Part of the Lafayette Regional School District, it ranks among the state’s strongest elementary schools: 19th out of 230 schools and in the 92nd percentile for 2025–2026. Its 5-star rating and 11.9 student-teacher ratio reflect a school that combines a small-school setting with consistently strong academic results.

Lafayette’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were well above New Hampshire averages in every reported subject: 80% in mathematics compared with 44% statewide, 78% in reading compared with 55%, and 63% in science compared with 38%. Mathematics is a particular strength, and fifth-grade results were especially impressive, with 75% of students proficient in both math and reading and 63% proficient in science. Lafayette also leads nearby schools on current all-grade results. For example, Bethlehem Elementary School, the closest high-performing comparison, posted proficiency rates of 74% in math, 68% in reading, and 50% in science. Lafayette exceeded those results by 6, 10, and 13 percentage points, respectively.

The school’s performance has been strong for many years, with statewide rankings generally placing it between the 90th and 98th percentiles since 2018–2019. That represents a major improvement from its 54th-percentile ranking in 2017–2018. Parents should keep Lafayette’s small enrollment in mind when reviewing annual results: a few students can cause noticeable year-to-year swings, particularly in science, which ranged from 50% to 100% proficiency in recent years. Lafayette’s free/reduced-price lunch rate was 13.27%, among the lowest in the comparison group, while its student-teacher ratio was higher than that of nearby schools. Overall, the available data portray Lafayette as an exceptionally effective small elementary school within the Lafayette Regional School District.

What people are saying

Monday, April 11, 2011

Numbers never tell a whole story. The teachers, staff and parents are all heavily involved at the school and the result is everyone knows everyone else and cares about everyone else. I have 4 children that are in or finished with Lafayette and I don't believe I could buy, for any amount of money, a better preparation for middle school and life than what Lafayette provides.
