What Parents Should Know

At 9.1:1 students to teachers, Epping High School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Epping High School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

33% of students at Epping High School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.
