Summary:
ZIP code 03042 has one public high school, Epping High School, serving grades 9–12 in the small community of Epping, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 213 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1, so there are no other high schools in the ZIP code for direct comparison.
Epping High School’s strongest results are its graduation, dropout, and reading outcomes. The school reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for 2024–2025, compared with statewide rates of 87% and 2.3%. Reading proficiency was also consistently strong: 69% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 58% in the Epping School District and 55% statewide. On the 11th-grade SAT reading assessment, 69% were proficient, seven points above the state result. The school’s ranking also improved considerably, moving from the 21st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 55th percentile in 2025–2026, while earning three stars in the two most recent years.
The main academic concerns are mathematics and science. Mathematics proficiency fell from 38% in 2024–2025 to 29% in 2025–2026, leaving the school 15 points below the state. Science declined from 25% to 19% and was 19 points below the state; among 11th graders, science proficiency was also 19%, compared with 40% statewide. These results suggest that families should view the school as particularly strong in student completion and reading, while asking about current efforts to support math and science achievement. Because the school is relatively small, year-to-year percentages can shift noticeably with changes in only a few students.
