Summary

Pembroke Hill School is a public elementary school in Suncook, New Hampshire, serving 312 students in kindergarten through grade 4 as part of the Pembroke School District in the greater Concord area. The school currently ranks 78th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it in the 66th percentile statewide. Its 10.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable compared with many nearby schools, and 21.79% of students participate in free or reduced-price lunch programs.

The clearest current strength is mathematics. In 2025–26, 57% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide and 37% across the district. Reading performance was also slightly above the state average, with 57% proficiency compared with 55% statewide. Among nearby schools, Bow Elementary School was notably stronger in both math and reading, at 75% and 70%, respectively. Christa McAuliffe School also scored higher overall, while results at Broken Ground School, Epsom Central School, and Abbot-Downing School were generally comparable or lower.

The most encouraging feature is the school’s sustained improvement. Its statewide ranking rose from the 22nd percentile in 2021–22 to the 66th percentile in 2025–26, while math proficiency increased from 43% to 57% and reading proficiency from 47% to 57%. Recent subgroup results also suggest broader improvement, including a large gain in the male-student ranking and progress among special education students. The school is not yet performing at the level of Bow Elementary School or Christa McAuliffe School, but it has developed strong positive momentum and now compares favorably with much of the surrounding area.
