Summary

Winnisquam Regional High School is a public school in Tilton, NH, serving 357 students in grades 9–12 in a competitive area with several nearby high school options. The school is part of the Winnisquam Regional School District and is located close to schools such as Compass Classical Academy Charter School, Franklin High School, and Belmont High School. With a 2025–2026 statewide rank of 38th out of 89 high schools, Winnisquam has improved considerably from recent years and now sits near the middle of the state rankings.

Several recent results are encouraging for families. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 90.2%, above New Hampshire’s 87.0% average, and the school reported a 0% dropout rate. Reading proficiency has risen to 55%, matching the state average, while science proficiency reached 41%, slightly above the state and second only to nearby Gilford High School among the larger traditional public schools compared here. Winnisquam currently ranks ahead of Newfound Regional High School, Merrimack Valley High School, Belmont, Laconia High School, and Franklin, although Gilford remains the stronger local academic benchmark.

The biggest concern is mathematics. Only 10% of students were proficient in the latest available all-grades mathematics results, compared with 42% statewide, and the 11th-grade SAT mathematics proficiency rate was also 10%. Parents may also want to ask about support for students with disabilities and the large difference between subgroup results: female students ranked in the 74th percentile for effectiveness, while male students ranked in the 12th percentile. Special education effectiveness ranked in the 14th percentile. Winnisquam’s 16.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio is higher than most nearby traditional schools, which may make targeted support more difficult. Overall, the school shows meaningful momentum in reading, science, graduation, and student persistence, but mathematics and support for students with the weakest outcomes deserve close attention.
