With a total enrollment of 101 students, North Walpole School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on state assessments, ranking 41 out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 30 out of 233 in the 2021-2022 school year, both with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's lack of racial diversity and relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be areas for the district to consider addressing, the school's dedicated teaching staff and individualized approach to learning contribute to its success in supporting the educational needs of its students.
