Summary

Rollinsford Grade School is a small public school serving 154 students in grades K–6 in Rollinsford, a community in southeastern New Hampshire. It offers a favorable 12.1 student-teacher ratio and belongs to the Rollinsford School District, which ranks around the middle of the state. The school’s latest ranking is 120th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, or about the 48th percentile. Although results vary from year to year, the school has improved substantially from its much lower rankings in the mid-2010s.

Academically, the school is close to the state average overall, with 42% of students proficient in math, 55% in reading, and 48% in science. Science is a standout strength, exceeding the state average by 10 percentage points. Reading has also recovered from 39% proficiency in 2022–23 to 55% currently, with especially strong fifth-grade reading at 81%. The main concerns are uneven grade-level results: fourth-grade math proficiency was 27%, while sixth-grade students posted 33% in math and 38% in reading. Because the school is small, individual classes or cohorts can have a sizable effect on schoolwide percentages.

Compared with nearby schools, Moharimet School is a much stronger academic benchmark, while Garrison School is a more practical comparison because it has a similar student-teacher ratio and somewhat stronger math and reading results. Seacoast Charter School has a similar overall standing, with slightly stronger reading and science but weaker math. Rollinsford outperforms Gonic School in science and is clearly ahead of Maple Wood Elementary School and Woodman Park School. Overall, the school appears to offer a small-school setting with notable strengths in science and upper-elementary reading, alongside targeted opportunities in fourth-grade math and sixth-grade academics.

The educators and administration at the school are excellent and caring. Close Quote

Rollinsford GS is an outstanding educational environment with dedicated teachers in a close-knit community. The challenge is to keep the costs down in a small town where there is a limited tax base, e.g., businesses. It is the center of the community, unlike many larger towns where students may get lost in the crowd. Close Quote
