Summary

Sanborn Regional High School in Kingston, New Hampshire, is a small public school serving grades 9–12 with about 448 students in the Sanborn Regional School District. The school’s size may support a close-knit environment and strong student visibility, although it can also limit course variety and specialized staffing compared with larger area schools. Sanborn’s latest ranking places it 54th out of 89 New Hampshire high schools, or in the 39th percentile. That is below the statewide midpoint, but it reflects improvement from 66th place in 2022–23.

Academically, reading is Sanborn’s clearest strength: 61% of students were proficient in 2025–26, above the state average of 55%. Mathematics is the biggest concern, with only 21% proficient—well below both the state rate of 44% and the district rate of 50%. Science proficiency was also below average at 28%, compared with 38% statewide. In comparison, Exeter High School and Winnacunnet High School posted substantially stronger results in all three subjects, while Pinkerton Academy was more comparable in math and science but stronger in reading. Sanborn’s student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 is higher than most nearby schools, including Winnacunnet and Raymond High School.

Parents may find Sanborn’s completion outcomes encouraging. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 90.9%, above New Hampshire’s 87.0% average, while the dropout rate was 1.6%, below the state rate of 2.3%. However, graduation results have fluctuated, and the school’s special education subgroup ranking is a significant area for attention. Overall, Sanborn appears to be improving while maintaining relatively strong student retention and graduation outcomes. Its main priorities are raising mathematics and science achievement and strengthening support for students receiving special education services. In the latest overall rankings, it placed ahead of Salem High School and Timberlane Regional High School, but behind several stronger-performing nearby schools.
