Summary

Sandown North Elementary School is a public school in Sandown, New Hampshire, serving 322 students in grades 1–5 as part of the Timberlane Regional School District. Its latest statewide ranking places it 148th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, in the 36th percentile, with a two-star rating. The school’s overall standing is broadly similar to that of its district, which ranks in the 39th percentile statewide.

The school’s academic results are mixed. Mathematics proficiency is 43%, close to the state average of 44%, while reading proficiency is 43%, notably below the New Hampshire average of 55% and the district average of 52%. Science is the clearest strength: 48% of students are proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 32% districtwide. Reading performance varies considerably by grade, with 34% proficiency in third grade, 38% in fourth grade, and 59% in fifth grade. This suggests that grades 3 and 4 literacy may be the most important areas for improvement. The school also has an impressive special education subgroup result, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide.

For a same-district comparison, Danville Elementary School performs better in mathematics and reading, with proficiency rates of 52% and 57%, respectively, but trails Sandown North in science at 41%. Nearby Chester Academy also ranks higher overall, while Sandown North remains ahead of several schools in the Derry area, including Grinnell School and East Derry Memorial Elementary School. Parents should note the school’s substantial long-term ranking decline, but also its strong science results and particularly positive outcomes for students receiving special education services.
