Summary

Highbridge Hill Elementary School is a public school in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, serving 363 students in prekindergarten through Grade 4 as part of the Mascenic Regional School District. The school is a mid-performing New Hampshire elementary school: its 2025–26 ranking is 124th out of 230 schools, placing it in the 46th percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is 11.7 to 1, an improvement from 13.7 to 1 in 2022–23.

Academically, Highbridge Hill’s overall results are close to the state averages: 44% of students are proficient in mathematics and 55% in reading. These results are stronger than the broader district averages, particularly in math, where the school is 13 percentage points higher. Reading is a relative strength, with Grade 3 proficiency at 53% and Grade 4 at 58%, both above state results. Mathematics is more uneven. Grade 3 math proficiency is 33%, compared with 54% statewide, while Grade 4 math reaches 54%, slightly above the state result. This large grade-level difference suggests that Grade 3 mathematics is the school’s clearest area for improvement.

Highbridge Hill compares favorably with several nearby schools, including Rindge Memorial School, Heron Pond Elementary School, and Temple Elementary School, particularly in reading. However, two nearby schools stand out as much higher-performing: Mason Elementary School reports 83% math and 86% reading proficiency, while Richard Maghakian Memorial School reports 79% math and 66% reading proficiency. Those schools serve different student populations and, in some cases, different grade spans, so comparisons are not exact. Overall, Highbridge Hill appears stronger than its district but roughly average statewide, with solid literacy results and a focused need to strengthen Grade 3 math.

Awful...awful...awful. There may be some good teachers, but at least those who do "specials" are ill-equipped to deal with children with special needs. They claim that their "good teaching" circumvents the need for 504's. Will be finding an attorney to fight them every step of the way. Close Quote
