Summary

Florence Rideout Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wilton, New Hampshire, serving 243 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District, which is ranked 125th out of 158 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Florence Rideout Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges in terms of academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics (39%), reading (46%), and science (38%) are all below the state averages. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 72nd out of 229 schools in 2016-2017 to 151st out of 224 schools in 2024-2025, indicating inconsistent academic performance. When compared to nearby schools, such as Mason Elementary School and Mont Vernon Village School, which are both in the top 10 schools in the state, Florence Rideout Elementary School generally performs worse.

The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20.09% in 2021-2022 to 21.67% in 2022-2023, suggests a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This, combined with the school's district's overall low ranking, may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female and white students, also varies, indicating that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and a focus on areas of weakness.
