Some of those being taken to hospital were not showing symptoms, but body checks found that they had higher than normal levels of carbon monoxide in their blood, WMUR-TV quoted officials as saying.
The building has been evacuated. Firefighters and ambulances have come to the scene for emergency response.
The school has about 280 students ranging from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade.
