Best Public Schools in Gilsum, NH

Summary:

The city of Gilsum, New Hampshire is home to a single elementary school, the Gilsum STEAM Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Monadnock Regional School District. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces some challenges, including below-average mathematics and science proficiency rates compared to the state, a declining statewide ranking, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

On a positive note, the Gilsum STEAM Academy stands out for its relatively high reading proficiency rate of 56%, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's overall performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 151 out of 233 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 217 out of 237 in 2022-2023. With a small student population of just 52 students, the school may face unique challenges and opportunities in terms of resource allocation and personalized attention for its students.

While the Gilsum STEAM Academy is the only school in the city, its performance and characteristics provide valuable insights for parents and the community. By understanding the school's strengths, such as its reading proficiency, as well as its areas for improvement, such as mathematics and science, stakeholders can work to support the school and ensure that all students in Gilsum receive a high-quality education.
