Litchfield School System District Highlights
The Litchfield School District, SAU #27, takes great pride in the three schools that serve the town's youth. Griffin Memorial Elementary School currently houses 560 students in grades 1-4 and an additional 29 students in the Pre-School/Kindergarten program. Litchfield Middle School has an enrollment of 610 students in grades 5-8, and Campbell High School, in its sixth year of operation, presently has 498 students enrolled in grades 9-12.
The Litchfield School Board is committed to providing high quality education, and a myriad of supplemental services and activities to students at all levels. The town of Litchfield has consistently supported the efforts of the schools and the quality of the services provided. The town will be asked to approve construction of a new elementary school this year in order to accommodate the growing population.
Litchfield students in all three schools have consistently scored at or above the state average on the annual New Hampshire assessment tests. Terra Nova tests are given at grade 4 and at grade 7. These scores are also strong when compared to the national norm. The average SAT scores of our graduating seniors are also well above the New Hampshire state average and also above the national average.
Curriculum alignment to state and national standards, differentiated instruction, honors options, formative assessment, and data-based decisions are the focus of the Litchfield School Board as well as the staff in all schools. Collaboration and ongoing communication exists at all levels throughout the district.
In addition to academics, the Litchfield schools offer students a wealth of athletics, both competitive and intramural, as well as a very strong band and choral program, various clubs and enrichment activities.
In its third year as an independent school district, Litchfield strives to provide the highest quality educational experiences for all of its students. Education in Litchfield is truly viewed as a comprehensive effort of the entire town.
