Summary

Sunapee Senior High School is a small public high school in Sunapee, New Hampshire, serving 131 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Sunapee School District. The school is a standout in the region: it ranked fifth out of 89 New Hampshire high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the state’s 94th percentile. Its district ranked 20th out of 166 statewide. Sunapee’s small enrollment can support a close-knit school experience, though it also means that results such as graduation rates may change noticeably from year to year.

Academically, Sunapee is strongest in reading and science. In 2025–2026, 76% of students reached proficiency in reading and 71% in science, compared with 55% and 38% statewide. These were the highest reported results among the nearby comparison schools, including Lebanon High School and Kearsarge Regional High School. Mathematics was also above the state average, at 52% versus 44%, although Lebanon was higher at 62%. Sunapee’s SAT results show a similar pattern: 76% proficiency in reading and 52% in mathematics, both above state averages.

Families should also consider a few caution points. Sunapee reported a 100% graduation rate for three consecutive years through 2023–2024, but that figure fell to 84.6% in 2024–2025, while the dropout rate rose from 0% to 3.8%. Because the school is small, a few students can significantly affect these percentages, but the recent change is worth monitoring. Mathematics is another area for continued improvement: performance recovered from 43% to 52%, yet remains below the district’s 63%. Overall, Sunapee combines exceptional statewide academic standing with particularly strong reading and science outcomes.
