Penacook Elementary School

Excellent school and atmosphere to raise a child.

We've had a wonderful experience at this school for 4 years now. No complaints.

One of the reviews here that calls SRS 'MORE OF A CHILD CARE CENTER,,,NICE CAMPUS BUT POOR ACADEMICS' is the truth but the 1 star was too hard. Its a really good child care center, not a good school. After 6 years, we withdrew our children last spring (2023) and after only 1 month at their new public schools, my partner and I are wishing we withdrew them years ago, after pre-K.The GOOD--the child care center, specially the pre-K program has great teachers who give a good base for kids to go into K ready to learn-the campus is amazing, I've never seen anything like it-small class sizes. Advisory groups are 12to16-vacation camp included in the cost of tuitionThe BAD--academics are erratic, its like none of the faculty know what the others are doing-no support for SEN, learning needs and such. I don't think they know what an IEP is!-apart from golf and nordic, there's no athletics save a couple weeks of soccer and running. My partner can't swim so he was sold on the promise of swim classes, but they don't even use the swimming pools.-big discipline problems, kids are sent to the principal every day when theyre just being kids, meanwhile they had a bullying problem for forever and the administration is indifferent to it
