Summary

Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School is a small public school in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, serving about 150 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Monadnock Regional School District.

For families considering the school, the most important context is that both Emerson and its district perform below New Hampshire averages. Emerson ranks in the 20th percentile statewide, an improvement from the 15th percentile the previous year but still well below the school’s stronger historical results. In 2025–26, proficiency was 21% in math, 42% in reading, and 13% in science, compared with 44%, 55%, and 38% statewide. Reading is the school’s strongest subject, especially in the upper grades: proficiency rises from 29% in third grade to 50% in fifth and sixth grade. Sixth-grade math is another bright spot at 50%, exceeding both district and state results. By contrast, fourth-grade math is a major concern, with only 12% of students proficient.

Compared with nearby schools, Emerson is broadly similar to Cutler Elementary School and trails Troy Elementary School in current overall results, although Emerson’s sixth-grade reading and math outcomes are stronger than those schools’. It ranks above Winchester School and Marlborough Elementary School, while Rindge Memorial School is a stronger nearby comparison. Emerson’s 11.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable relative to Cutler’s 13.6-to-1 ratio, but the data point to a need for targeted improvement in math and science, particularly fourth-grade math and recent science performance.
