Summary

Danbury Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades K-4 in Danbury, New Hampshire, with just 56 students enrolled. The school is part of the Newfound Area School District, which is ranked 111 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Danbury Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic assessments, with only 33% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 39% proficient in Reading, compared to 40% and 53% for the district, and 42% and 55% for the state, respectively. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 134th and 189th out of 224-237 New Hampshire elementary schools in recent years, putting it in the bottom half of the state. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.6 to 11.5 in recent years, lower than nearby Bridgewater-Hebron Village School (14.1) and Bristol Elementary School (13.3).

Danbury Elementary School's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 4th out of 242 schools in 2013-2014 to 189th out of 224 schools in 2024-2025. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and personalized learning strategies, the consistent underperformance suggests a need for a comprehensive review of its educational programs, resources, and leadership. Additionally, the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25% to 28.57% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Very small student-teacher ratio. Great after school homework club and after school recreation program in partnership with the town community center. Strong focus on academics and academic improvement/success for every student. Free ski lessons in the winter with the ski area in town that includes a free season pass. Close Quote
