Summary:
ZIP code 03257 has two schools serving preschool through fifth grade: Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School at New London and Kearsarge Regional Preschool New London, both part of the Kearsarge Regional School District in the New London area.
Most students in the ZIP code attend Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School at New London, which enrolls 330 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. It is the clear academic standout because it is the only school with standardized testing data. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 34th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it approximately in the top 15% statewide. Students outperformed both district and state averages in every tested subject: 64% were proficient in mathematics, 68% in reading, and 54% in science. The school’s mathematics results improved especially sharply, rising 13 percentage points from the prior year. Reading was the strongest overall subject, while third grade had the highest results, with 75% proficiency in both mathematics and reading.
Kearsarge Regional Preschool New London is much smaller, serving 22 students in pre-kindergarten through kindergarten. It has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio than the elementary school, 11.0 to 1 compared with 11.7 to 1, but no standardized test or ranking information is available, so academic comparisons are not possible. The main area to watch at the elementary school is fifth-grade mathematics, where proficiency was 50%, considerably below third- and fourth-grade mathematics results, though still above the state rate. Overall, families will find a small local school group anchored by a strong-performing elementary school and supported by a small preschool program. The district ranks 58th out of 166 New Hampshire districts in the supplied data.
