Summary

Newfields Elementary School is a small public school in the town of Newfields, New Hampshire, serving about 115 students in kindergarten through grade 5. Part of the Newfields School District, it offers a small-school setting and a notably low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1. The district ranks in the upper tier statewide, while the school ranks 52nd out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it around the 77th percentile and earning four stars.

Academically, Newfields is performing above state averages in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026, 62% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide, while 60% were proficient in reading and science. Science is a particular strength: Newfields’ result was 22 points above the state average and higher than nearly every nearby comparison school. Math performance has also been consistently strong. Reading is the main area to monitor, especially in grades 3 and 4; overall proficiency fell from 73% to 60% over the past year, although the grade 5 result remained strong at 75%.

Newfields compares favorably with several nearby schools, including Newmarket Elementary School and Epping Elementary School. However, some neighboring schools—such as Mast Way School, Swasey Central School, Lincoln Street Elementary School, and Stratham Memorial School—rank even higher statewide. Overall, Newfields appears to be a strong small school with improving long-term results, excellent current science performance, and individualized staffing advantages. Because enrollment is small, annual test scores can fluctuate considerably, so multi-year trends are especially useful.
