Nashua High School has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year that were generally higher than the state averages in English Language Arts (62.5%) but lower in Mathematics (12.5%) and Science (25%).

While the school's academic performance in English Language Arts is stronger than nearby schools, it lags behind in Mathematics and Science. The small size of the school and the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may be contributing factors to the school's challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.
