Alton School District in New Hampshire has only one school, Alton Central School (Elem), which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 417 students. The school district is ranked 140 out of 163 school districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Alton Central School (Elem) has consistently underperformed the state average in Mathematics, Reading, and Science proficiency over the past three school years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in both Mathematics (29% vs. 41%) and Reading (41% vs. 53%). Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate was significantly lower than the state average (19% vs. 36%). This suggests that the school may face challenges in providing effective academic instruction and support for its students.

The student population at Alton Central School (Elem) is predominantly White (95.2%), with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may impact the school's ability to address the needs of a diverse student body. Additionally, nearly 17% of students at the school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that can impact student learning and achievement. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 suggests that class sizes are relatively small, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
