District-Level NCES Analysis
Epping School District operates 3 public schools serving 887 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Hampshire. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Rockingham County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,524 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 161 New Hampshire districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Hampshire compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 67.4% local, 26.0% state, and 6.6% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 48/100, ranked #65 of 114 in New Hampshire against a state average of 51, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 177.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 29.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.7% White, 2.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Epping High School, with a diversity index of 16.0/100.
Its largest campus is Epping Elementary School, enrolling 464 students (53% of the district's total enrollment).
Epping Elementary School accounts for 52.3% of all Epping School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Epping School District a distant remainder — means Epping School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Epping School District school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
Epping School District school enrollment ranges from 194 students (lowest) to 464 students (highest), a spread of 270 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Epping School District student-counselor ratio is 178:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Epping School District chronic absenteeism rate is 29.8% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Epping School District is typically wider than the Epping School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Epping School District has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 887 students.
