Haverhill Elementary School is the standout: it ranks 34 of 1,015 (97th percentile, 5 stars), up from 147 of 1,011 (85th percentile, 4 stars) three years earlier. In 2025–2026 All Grades ILEARN, it scored 71.66 in ELA, 72.73 in Math and 68.75 in Science, versus district marks of 59.03, 59.36 and 60.39. Its only below-district result is 3rd grade Math, still a strong 70.69 against the district's 71.83 and the state's 51.9. Whispering Meadow Elementary School has improved from 2 stars to 3 stars and from the 47th–49th percentile to the 69th (rank 313 of 1,015), but remains below the district in ELA (49.81), Math (49.24) and Science (52.81). The gap between the two schools is wide: +21.85 points in ELA, +23.49 in Math and +15.94 in Science. Upper-elementary math is Whispering Meadow's clearest challenge — 4th grade Math 48.31 against district 66.93 and state 52, and 5th grade Math 39.58 against district 61.98 and state 42 — while science and social studies are relative strengths, with 5th grade Social Studies rising from 36.05 to 59.38.
Both schools share exceptionally low chronic absenteeism of 0.5, compared with 0.7 for the district and 16.7 for the state. Whispering Meadow has higher enrollment, higher free/reduced lunch (31.03% versus 28.79%), higher per-student spending ($11,457 versus $10,941) and a higher student-teacher ratio (14.9 versus 13.5), while Haverhill achieves stronger outcomes with lower spending and a lower ratio — an interesting pattern, though not proof of cause. Overall, families here have a strong district, one top-tier school and one improving school that still needs targeted support, especially in upper-elementary math.
