This school, part of the Kearsarge Regional School District, has a predominantly white student population and consistently outperforms the district and state averages on state assessments in mathematics, reading, and science.

Simonds Elementary School boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, indicating smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. The school's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with mathematics and reading proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages across all grade levels.

Understanding how the school supports these students and ensures their academic success would provide valuable insights into the school's overall effectiveness and areas for improvement.
