Summary

Moultonborough Central School is a public school serving 245 students in Pre-K through Grade 5 in Moultonborough, a small Lakes Region community in New Hampshire, as part of the Moultonborough School District.

The school’s current ranking is 104th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it in the 55th percentile and making it a broadly average-to-slightly-above-average school statewide. Student performance is generally better than state averages: 52% of students are proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide; 57% meet reading standards, compared with 55% statewide; and 39% meet science standards, compared with 38% statewide. Math is the clearest strength, particularly in Grade 3, where 61% of students are proficient. Grade 5 reading is another bright spot at 64%, while Grade 4 math and reading results are weaker. Families should note that the school’s all-grade results primarily reflect Grades 3–5, so comparisons with schools serving older students are not always direct.

Locally, Moultonborough is a middle-to-upper-middle performer. It trails nearby higher-ranked schools such as Sandwich Central School, Gilford Elementary School, Holderness Central School, and Campton Elementary School, but ranks above Ossipee Central School, Tuftonboro Central School, and Ashland Elementary School. Science is the main concern: proficiency fell from 67% to 39% in one year, suggesting a need to monitor curriculum and student-cohort effects. The student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is higher than most nearby schools, and overall rankings have fluctuated, so consistent improvement—especially in Grade 4 math and science—would strengthen the school’s profile.
