Summary:

ZIP code 01830 in Haverhill, Massachusetts is home to three elementary schools enrolling a combined 1,190 students: Pentucket Lake Elementary (K–5, 527 students), Golden Hill (K–4, 502 students), and Walnut Square (K–3, 161 students). All three are part of the Haverhill district, which ranks 294th of 351 districts statewide (16th percentile, 1 star), so all three schools share that district context.

Golden Hill has the strongest official profile: 582nd of 899, 35th percentile, 2 stars in 2025-2026, up 61 rank positions since 2023-2024. Its all-grades ELA (33.51%) and math (35.26%) beat the district (26.49% and 29.27%) but trail the state, and its 4th-grade math (30.85%) falls below the district's 34.96%. Walnut Square posts the highest 2025-2026 proficiency — 42.11% in both ELA and math — above the state's all-grade figures but just below the state's 3rd-grade results, which is the fairest comparison since it serves only K–3. It has no rank history and only 161 students, so results can swing widely; its 2024-2025 scores were far lower (31.43% ELA, 28.57% math). Pentucket Lake, the largest school, has the weakest outcomes (27.68% ELA, 28.70% math, 19.44% science; 1 star), though it has improved from 742nd to 673rd since 2023-2024. Its grade-5 results are especially low: math 11.11%, ELA 16.67%, science 19.44%, all well below district and state levels.

ELA and math improved at all three schools from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, while Pentucket Lake's science fell 7.59 points. Resource figures do not line up simply with results: Walnut Square has the highest per-student spending ($17,177) and student-teacher ratio (12.0), while Pentucket Lake has the lowest of both ($16,011, 10.9). Note that grade spans differ, so "All Grades" reflects different tested grades at each school; Walnut Square lacks rank history and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for all three.
