Summary

Nottingham Elementary School is a public school in Nottingham, New Hampshire, serving about 527 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 8 in a community-oriented area surrounded by small towns and rural-suburban communities. The school is part of the Nottingham School District, which ranks in the 78th percentile statewide. The school itself ranks 70th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it in the 70th percentile for 2025–2026. Its broad PK–8 structure gives families the convenience of one school through middle school, unlike nearby schools such as Moharimet School and Mast Way School, which serve primarily elementary grades.

Academic performance is a clear strength. In 2025–2026, 67% of students were proficient in math, 64% in reading, and 47% in science—well above New Hampshire averages in all three subjects. Math is especially strong, and the school’s best results are concentrated in grades 6–8: eighth-grade proficiency reached 79% in math and 77% in reading. These middle-school results compare favorably with nearby PK–8 schools, including Deerfield Community School, Northwood Elementary School, and Strafford School. Nottingham also posts stronger overall results than most nearby schools, although Moharimet School and Mast Way School rank substantially higher.

For parents, the main caution is that elementary results are less consistent than the middle-school outcomes. Fifth-grade reading was below the state average, and science proficiency fell from 58% to 47% in the most recent year. The school’s overall ranking has also declined from a recent high point, though it has remained above the statewide midpoint over time. On the positive side, the student-teacher ratio improved from 15.7:1 to 13.1:1 between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025. Overall, Nottingham Elementary School appears to be a strong choice for families seeking a PK–8 program, with particularly compelling evidence of success in middle-school math and reading.

There is more than test scores that are special about our school. The climate, the staff, the students, and the community all come together to make this a wonderful place to learn. Close Quote

We love Nottingham School. Although AYP progress is an issue, if you look carefully at the results it is only one subpopulation that is not making AYP. Our children have overall had wonderful teachers at this school. They are testing above grade level in all subjects, so the school must be doing something right. We love the small environment, and knowing the students and parents in the community. When we have had issues, we have had positive interactions with the teachers to resolve the issues. The one area that can be improved is to have more opportunities for accelerated students, but we also feel that it is our job as parents to provide those opportunities for our kids as well, so that is exactly what we are doing. We are very happy. Close Quote

Nottingham School is in it's fifth year of not making AYP for both reading and math. The administration is lacking in both competence and leadership. There are some very talented teachers employed here, but too many who are just not good enough. Our children have experienced both the best and worst teachers. Close Quote
