Top 50 Schools In NH For 2019: New List

How's this for comprehensive: Now you can find out if your district has the best schools of any grade level, public and private, in New Hampshire.

Niche.com, which specializes in all different types of rankings, released a new 2019 list slightly different than its usual rankings. This time around, Niche ranked what it says are the top 50 schools in New Hampshire, including both private and public schools, and spanning elementary, middle and high schools. (See the full list below.)

In this list, Niche prefers private schools. The top entry was once again Phillips Exeter, followed by St. Paul's in Concord.

The first public school was Hanover High at No. 3, and that was followed by the Academy for Science & Design High in Nashua.

The top public elementary school was the Maude H. Trefethen School in New Castle at No. 8. The first public middle school was the Academy for Science & Design Middle School at No. 9.
