While Lyme Elementary School's academic excellence is evident, the school's demographic makeup raises some equity concerns, as the student population is predominantly White (90.16%) with relatively small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the school has a low percentage of students (9.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively affluent student population. These factors, combined with the school's consistent outperformance of the Lyme School District and the state of New Hampshire, indicate that Lyme Elementary School may be a high-performing outlier within the region, raising questions about the accessibility and inclusivity of the school's educational opportunities.
