Summary

Florence Rideout Elementary School is a small public school in Wilton, New Hampshire, serving 211 students in grades 1–5 as part of the Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District. Its student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1 is favorable for families seeking a smaller school environment. The school’s latest statewide ranking places it in the 39th percentile, so its overall performance is below the state midpoint, but results vary considerably by subject and grade.

Mathematics is currently the school’s strongest area: 46% of students are proficient, compared with 38% districtwide and 44% statewide. Reading proficiency is 50%, close to the district rate but below the 55% state average, while science is weaker at 33%. Fourth grade stands out, with math proficiency reaching 57% and reading 54%, both slightly above state results. The biggest academic concern is third-grade reading, where 40% of students are proficient compared with 51% statewide. Fifth-grade math is another area to watch. Compared with nearby Heron Pond Elementary School, which has a similar lunch-assistance rate, Florence Rideout performs better in math, reading, and science.

Recent results show some encouraging movement: math proficiency rose 7 percentage points and reading rose 4 points from the previous year. However, science declined by 5 points, continuing a three-year downward trend, and the school has not returned to its stronger 2022–24 ranking levels. Families may also want to ask about support for students receiving special education services, whose latest subgroup ranking was at the 9th percentile statewide. Florence Rideout trails high-performing nearby schools such as Mason Elementary School and Mont Vernon Village School, but those schools serve different communities. Overall, Florence Rideout offers small-school staffing advantages and improving core results, alongside clear priorities in reading, science, and special education support.
