Mont Vernon Village School serves 231 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire. It operates as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, keeping class sizes small and instruction personal. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — driven by a 9.5 in academics and a standout 9.8 in student growth.
