Academically, Kenneth A.

For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 22% in math and 33% in reading, compared to the state averages of 42% and 55%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the Tamworth School District average, which is already low compared to the state. However, certain student subgroups, such as male students and white students, perform better than the overall school, but still lag behind state averages.

Brett School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more advantaged student population. However, some of the nearby schools, like Ossipee Central School and Conway Elementary School, also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage, suggesting broader challenges in the region.
