However, the school's ranking has declined in the past two years, dropping to 43rd out of 237 schools in 2022-2023 and 98th out of 234 schools in 2023-2024. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.4 is relatively low, which is likely beneficial for providing individualized attention and support to students.

While Gilmanton Elementary School's academic performance is impressive, the school's demographic makeup is quite homogeneous, with 95.07% of students identifying as White. This lack of diversity may be an area of concern in terms of providing a well-rounded educational experience for students. Overall, Gilmanton School District appears to offer a high-quality education, but the declining school ranking and lack of diversity are factors that may warrant further investigation.
