Gilmanton High School has seen a decline in performance, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 3-star rating in 2022-2023. However, the high school maintains a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. Across all 3 schools, chronic absenteeism rates are alarmingly high, around 17.7%, which could be impacting academic outcomes and is an area that requires attention. Despite these challenges, the small school sizes, ranging from 41 to 46 students per school, may offer advantages in terms of personalized attention and resources.
