Cornish School District

Nestled in a distant rural setting within the Lebanon-Claremont region, the Cornish School District is an active, independent public school district located at 274 Townhouse Road in Cornish, New Hampshire. Operating as a traditional, non-charter system centered around a single school facility, the district delivers early childhood, elementary, and middle school education, serving students from prekindergarten through eighth grade. This centralized structure fosters a tight-knit educational community designed to nurture foundational academic development and social growth before students transition to regional high school programs.

For the 2024–2025 school year, the district serves a total student body of 137 children, maintaining small, highly personalized class sizes across every grade level that rarely exceed 18 pupils. The district supports its student population with a robust staffing model comprising approximately 53.3 full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce members. This includes nearly 25.8 FTE teaching professionals alongside 27.5 FTE support staff, creating an exceptionally low student-to-staff ratio that allows for individualized instruction, comprehensive student services, and strong institutional support for local families and researchers evaluating rural school performance.
