You can get started by clicking "Reports" or by selecting
a year, a district, and a school from the drop down menus. If you wish to view district-level reports,
do not select a school. If you wish to view state-level reports, leave both the district and school blank.

Welcome
Welcome to the New Hampshire Department of Education School District Profile. In response to No Child Left Behind at the federal level and the New Hampshire (NH) State Law RSA 193-E:3, the Department has developed this Web site as one way to access information about NH schools and communities
The purpose of the School District Profile is to help anyone involved with education at the local or state level - parents, professional educators, school board members, students, business and community leaders - to learn more about NH schools. The Profiles are meant to help foster deeper conversations about the quality of schools, but numbers alone do not tell the whole story. Test scores are important, but only if they prompt a closer look at other facets of the educational landscape. The information is available to ask substantive questions about schools, the quality of instruction, and student learning, such as:
- What are the most important educational goals for each district and school?
- Do goals describe desired student outcomes?
- How is success measured?
- What investment is being made in high-quality professional development?
- What does quality student work look like and how can instruction be provided to support it?
- How can we assure that facilities are up-to-date?
- Are parents confident that schools are healthy and safe environments?
- How have districts and schools developed a strong partnership with parents and community members?
- What investment is being made in teacher recruitment, training, and support?
- What investment does your community make in early learning?
The law requires that the Department rank order the school communities in terms of performance on the statewide NECAP (New England Common Assessment Program) tests. While there may be the urge to compare schools across communities, numbers and test scores can help focus the discussion on three simple questions:
- What should all students know and be able to do?
- How will success and progress be measured?
- What needs to happen in terms of educational programs to ensure these goals are met?
Hopefully, the use of this tool will help to support efforts to be an involved member of the school community. Feedback regarding how useful and accessible this information is should be sent using the "Contact the Department" on the navigation bar of the School District Profile or send written comments to Sallie Fellows, Information Services, New Hampshire Department of Education, 101 Pleasant Street, Concord, N.H. 03301.
