Schools in Zip Code 01830

ZIP code 01830 contains eight schools serving grades K–12: three elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and one alternative school, with 3,666 students enrolled in total. Seven of them are in the Haverhill district, and one — Whittier Regional Vocational — belongs to the Whittier Regional Vocational Technical district. Enrollment ranges from just 45 students at Bartlett School and Assessment Center to 1,285 at Whittier Regional Vocational. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported for any school in this data, so comparisons cannot account for student need, and spending figures come from 2020–2021 while test results are from 2024–2026.

Whittier Regional Vocational stands out most: a 99.0% graduation rate, a 0.6% dropout rate, and ELA, math, science, and biology scores above state averages in 2024–2025, although its 2025–2026 scores dropped sharply. Among elementary schools, Walnut Square reached 42.11% proficiency in both ELA and math, above district and state averages, but it is a small K–3 school where only 3rd graders are tested. Golden Hill is the clearest improver, ranked 582 of 899 (35th percentile, 2 stars) with ELA and math above district averages. John G Whittier outperformed Dr Paul Nettle in ELA, math, and science despite a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending, and Nettle has slipped in rank three years running.

At the other end, Gateway Academy ranked 352 of 353 (0 stars) with 14.29% ELA, 0% math, and 5.88% science, alongside an 83.3% graduation rate and 7.1% dropout rate — though it is a small grades 7–12 school. Bartlett School and Assessment Center, a 45-student alternative program with the highest per-student spending ($51,492) and lowest student-teacher ratio (6.2), posted 3.85% in ELA and math. Across the ZIP, spending and outcomes do not move in a simple direction.
