Funding

How New Hampshire funds schools

New Hampshire funds districts through Adequate Education grants built on a base per-pupil cost — about $4,266 per pupil — plus differentiated aid for free-and-reduced-lunch, English-learner, special-education and third-grade reading needs, financed largely by the statewide education property tax. A 2025 court ruling (ConVal) found the base amount constitutionally inadequate, pointing to a figure closer to $7,356, so the formula remains under legislative revision.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Lyme School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

New Hampshire publishes district data through iPlatform and the public iReport, covering proficiency, growth, graduation, college-and-career readiness and attendance rather than a single grade. Look up Lyme School District on NH iPlatform.

Accreditation

Accreditation status
