Summary:
ZIP code 03814 has one public school, Ossipee Central School, serving students from prekindergarten through Grade 6 in Center Ossipee as part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District. The school enrolls 276 students, so families in this area do not have multiple public schools to compare within the ZIP code.
Ossipee Central’s latest results show meaningful improvement. Its ranking rose to 156th of 230 schools, placing it in the 32nd percentile, compared with the 21st percentile the previous year. Proficiency also increased in every tested subject: mathematics rose to 44%, reading to 45%, and science to 30%. Mathematics is the school’s strongest overall area, matching the New Hampshire average and slightly exceeding the district average. Reading is a more significant concern, trailing district performance by 9 percentage points and the state by 10 points. Science is the weakest subject, with proficiency 4 points below the district and 8 points below the state.
Performance varies considerably by grade. Grade 3 is a bright spot, with 58% proficient in mathematics and 52% in reading, roughly matching or exceeding district and state results. Grade 4 needs particular attention, with only 35% proficiency in mathematics and 37% in reading. Grade 6 also trails comparison groups in both subjects, especially reading, where proficiency is 40%. Grade 5 mathematics is encouraging at 45%, above both district and state results, although Grade 5 science is weak at 30%. More than half of students participate in the free or reduced-price lunch program, and the reported student-teacher ratio is 7.6:1. Overall, recent progress is encouraging, but reading, science, and specific grade-level gaps remain important considerations for families.
