Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 01835 serve a combined 1,811 students across three schools: Caleb Dustin Hunking School (K–8, 1,062 students), Bradford Elementary (K–4, 443 students), and Hill View Montessori Charter Public School (K–8, 306 students). Hunking and Bradford belong to the Haverhill district, while Hill View is a charter school that reports as its own district. Hunking holds 58.6% of the area's elementary enrollment, Bradford 24.5%, and Hill View 16.9%.
Bradford Elementary stands out. It posts the highest all-grade ELA (35.71%) and math (45.36%) proficiency of the three, above the state's 41.11% in math and far above Haverhill's 29.27%. Its rank percentile rose from 27th to 40th to 46th, moving from 1 star to 2 stars, and it overtook Hunking in the latest rankings. Hunking, the largest school, essentially matches the state in all-grade math (41.15% vs 41.11%) and beats state in grades 4, 6, 7 and 8 math, but trails the state in ELA (31.2%), science (31.47%) and 8th-grade civics (26.62%). Bradford has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.0) and the highest per-student spending ($16,795, from 2020–2021).
Hill View Montessori has the lowest results — 11th percentile, 1 star, and all-grade math at 10.2% against 41.11% statewide — yet it shows bright spots in 8th-grade civics (44.83%, above the state's 39.77% and the ZIP's strongest single subject result) and 7th-grade ELA (53.13% vs 39.91%). Grade-level results swing widely, as is common in a small school. Note that math is the relative strength at both Haverhill schools while ELA is the relative weakness, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all three, so economic context is unavailable.
