Summary:
ZIP code 03256 contains one school, New Hampton Community School, a small public elementary school serving Pre-K through Grade 5 in New Hampton, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 93 students and is part of the Newfound Area School District. With an 11.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, it may offer a relatively small-school setting. Since there is only one school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare schools locally; the most useful benchmarks are the school’s district and statewide results.
New Hampton Community School performs above the state average in all three reported subjects for 2025–26. Reading is the strongest area: 64% of students were proficient, compared with 55% in both the district and state. Mathematics proficiency was 49%, five points above the district and state, while science proficiency was 45%, seven points above the state and one point above the district. Fifth-grade reading stands out especially, with 85% of students proficient—well above the district’s 60% and the state’s 58%. Third-grade reading was also strong at 63%. Overall, these results suggest solid academic performance, particularly in reading.
Performance is not equally strong across every grade and subject. Fourth-grade reading was 45%, seven points below the state, and fifth-grade mathematics was 45%, although still slightly above the state rate. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, mathematics improved five percentage points and science rose one point, while reading declined five points but remained the school’s highest-performing subject. The school’s ranking has been fairly stable, at about the 64th percentile in the most recent two years. Because enrollment is small, grade-level percentages can change noticeably when only a few students’ results differ, so families should view individual-year results as useful indicators rather than complete measures of school quality.
