Summary:

Andover Regional School District has two schools: Florence M. Burd, serving prekindergarten through grade 4 with 288 students, and Long Pond School, serving grades 5–8 with 189 students. In 2025–2026, the reported grade-level averages were 60% in ELA and 51% in math, compared with matching state averages of 51% and 40%. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply by grade, especially in Long Pond math: grade 6 was well below the state, while grade 8 was far above it.

Long Pond School stands out at the top in grade 8: 77% were proficient in math versus 23% statewide, a 54-point lead, and 79% in ELA versus 53%, a 26-point lead. Algebra I proficiency was 100% for both reported entries, compared with 40% statewide for the end-of-course entry and 75% for the grade 8 entry. Its clearest low result was grade 6 math, at 21% versus 40% statewide, 19 points below. Florence M. Burd was above the state in both current grade 4 subjects: 52% in ELA versus 46%, and 64% in math versus 47%. Because the schools have no overlapping tested grades, these results do not provide a direct school-to-school ranking.

Results declined overall from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the grade-level average fell 12 points in ELA and 3 points in math, while the average advantage over the state narrowed in both subjects. At Florence M. Burd, all four grade-subject results fell year over year, including a 18-point drop in grade 4 ELA and a 17-point drop in grade 4 math, though both current results remain above state levels. At Long Pond School, math changes were mixed: grade 5 rose 23 points, grade 6 fell 21, grade 7 fell 20, and grade 8 rose 17. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentiles also fell over the recent years shown, from 87 to 58 for Burd and from 85 in 2024–2025 to 76 for Long Pond in 2025–2026; the schools belong to different ranking groups. For context, in 2024–2025, 24% of Burd students and 23% of Long Pond students were free/reduced lunch eligible; student–teacher ratios were 9.8 and 11.2, respectively.
