Summary

Golden Brook Elementary School is a large public school in Windham, New Hampshire, serving about 1,113 students in Pre-K through Grade 4 as part of the highly rated Windham School District. The school ranks 29th out of 230 New Hampshire schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the state’s 87th percentile, while its district ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide.

Academically, Golden Brook is one of the strongest schools in the comparison group. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 70% in mathematics and 67% in reading, both well above state averages. The school led nearby schools in reading, ahead of South Londonderry Elementary School at 66% and North Salem Elementary School at 63%. In mathematics, Golden Brook ranked third locally, just behind North Salem at 73% and South Londonderry at 71%. Grade 3 was a particular strength, with 78% proficiency in math and 71% in reading. Grade 4 results were more moderate, especially in math at 62%. After declines through 2024–2025, both reading and math improved in the latest year, and the school’s statewide rank rebounded from 43rd to 29th.

Golden Brook’s size sets it apart: it enrolls more than twice as many students as many nearby schools. Its 17.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio is also higher than those reported for comparison schools, including South Londonderry’s 9.9-to-1 ratio. At the same time, Golden Brook maintains excellent overall results, making its performance notable in a large-school setting. Its free or reduced-price lunch rate is 2.7%, considerably lower than at several nearby schools, so families should consider student-population differences when comparing results. Subgroup performance is generally strong, while special education results improved in the latest year but remain an area to monitor. Overall, Golden Brook stands out for strong statewide performance, especially in reading, with Grade 4 math and individualized support worth closer attention.
