Summary:

ZIP code 03882 has one elementary school, Effingham Elementary School, a small K–6 school serving 120 students in the Effingham community. The school is part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1. About 42% of students participated in the free or reduced-price lunch program during 2024–2025, or approximately 50 students based on current enrollment. Since there is no other elementary school in the ZIP code, families are evaluating this school primarily in comparison with district and New Hampshire results.

Effingham Elementary School shows a mixed academic picture. In 2025–2026, 39% of students were proficient in mathematics, compared with 43% in the district and 44% statewide. Reading was a larger concern: 36% were proficient, versus 54% in the district and 55% statewide. Science proficiency was 30%, compared with 34% in the district and 38% statewide. Sixth-grade mathematics was the strongest result, with 67% proficient—well above both district and state levels. Fifth-grade mathematics was also relatively close to district performance. However, fourth grade was the weakest area, with just 22% proficient in mathematics and 28% in reading. Reading results were below district and state levels in every tested grade, making literacy the clearest schoolwide improvement priority.

Recent trends provide both encouragement and caution. Overall mathematics proficiency improved from 35% to 39% year over year, while reading was nearly unchanged, rising from 35% to 36%. Science declined from 36% to 30%. The school ranked 178th out of 230 schools, in the 23rd percentile, in 2025–2026, down from the 45th percentile two years earlier. Because this is a small school, individual grade cohorts can have a noticeable effect on percentages and rankings. Families may therefore want to consider the strong sixth-grade mathematics performance, the need for additional reading support, and the especially low fourth-grade results while also reviewing longer-term growth data.
