Summary

Loudon Elementary School is a small public school in the community of Loudon, New Hampshire, serving about 243 students in grades K–5 as part of the Merrimack Valley School District. The school ranks in the 42nd percentile statewide, or 133rd out of 230 schools, a notable improvement from the 23rd percentile two years earlier. Its 11-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable and may support small-group instruction and individual attention.

Academic results are mixed but show encouraging progress. In 2025–26, 48% of students were proficient in math, above both the district’s 41% and New Hampshire’s 44%; reading proficiency was 53%, matching the district and just below the state’s 55%. Both subjects improved substantially from the prior year. Third grade is a particular strength, with 65% proficiency in math and 63% in reading. However, fifth-grade results are much weaker: 26% in math and 41% in reading. Science is the school’s largest challenge, with just 21% of students proficient, compared with 29% in the district and 38% statewide.

Among nearby schools, Loudon Elementary School currently ranks above district peers Boscawen Elementary School and Penacook Elementary School, though Boscawen has slightly stronger math results. It trails higher-performing schools such as Christa McAuliffe School and Canterbury Elementary School, especially in reading and science. Overall, Loudon’s upward trend is promising, but improving fifth-grade instruction and science achievement will be important next steps.
