Best Public Schools in Kingston, NH

Summary:

The city of Kingston, New Hampshire is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Sanborn Regional School District. While the elementary and middle schools in this district show promising performance, the high school appears to be struggling, with declining rankings and lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages.

The standout school in Kingston is the Daniel J. Bakie School, an elementary school that has consistently ranked in the top half of New Hampshire elementary schools. It boasts a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more affluent student population, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.9. In contrast, the Sanborn Regional High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 59th out of 85 New Hampshire high schools in 2021-2022 to 66th out of 87 in 2023-2024, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science consistently lower than the district and state averages.

The Sanborn Regional Middle School, however, has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's reading proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, with 56% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024. This suggests that the middle school is making strides in addressing the academic challenges faced by the high school.
