Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 03257 include two Kearsarge Regional School District programs in the New London area: Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School at New London, serving kindergarten through fifth grade, and Kearsarge Regional Preschool New London, serving preschool through kindergarten. Together, they enroll 352 students and provide a small-school educational setting.
Kearsarge Reg. Elementary School at New London is the primary elementary school and the clear academic standout because it is the only school with state testing results. In 2025–2026, 64% of students were proficient in mathematics, 68% in reading, and 54% in science. Each result was above both district and state averages, including advantages of 20 points in mathematics, 13 points in reading, and 16 points in science over statewide results. The school ranked 34th out of 230 schools, placing it around the 85th percentile. Mathematics improved especially strongly from the previous year, rising 13 percentage points.
For parents evaluating areas for continued attention, fifth-grade mathematics was the main concern: proficiency was 50%, compared with 75% in third grade and 69% in fourth grade. Fourth-grade reading also dipped to 63%, although it remained above the state average. The preschool is much smaller, with 22 students and a favorable 11:1 student-teacher ratio, compared with 330 students and an 11.7:1 ratio at the K–5 school. Its preschool-through-kindergarten focus means it does not have comparable state assessment results. Overall, the Kearsarge Regional School District offers strong elementary performance, with the main school ranking well statewide and the preschool providing a small early-learning option.
