Summary

Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The school is part of the Monadnock Regional School District, which is ranked 136 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency was 29% compared to the state average of 42% and the district average of 33%. The school's reading proficiency of 41% in 2024-2025 was also lower than the state average of 55% and the district average of 42%. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student groups, such as female and white students, is below state averages. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 23.31% to 26.95% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 12.4 over the past few years, may be a potential strength, as it could provide more individualized attention and support for students. Nearby schools, such as Dublin Consolidated School and Wells Memorial School, may offer different educational experiences and opportunities for families in the area to consider.
