Summary:
Elementary schools in the Goffstown School District include three schools serving prekindergarten through fourth grade and 884 listed students in the Goffstown, New Hampshire area. Maple Avenue School is the largest, serving grades 1–4 with 513 students, while Glen Lake School serves 194 students in prekindergarten and kindergarten, and Bartlett Elementary School serves 177 students in grades 1–4. The district ranks 54th among 166 New Hampshire districts and has a three-star rating.
Bartlett currently has the strongest academic profile among the schools with state testing data. It ranks 63rd out of 230 schools, placing it in the 73rd percentile with four stars, a major improvement from the 17th percentile two years earlier. In 2025–2026, 63% of students were proficient in mathematics and 60% in reading. Its fourth-grade results were especially strong, with 70% proficiency in both subjects, although third-grade reading was lower at 48%. Bartlett also has the lowest student-teacher ratio, at 9.8, which provides useful context when comparing schools, though the available data do not establish a direct cause for its results.
Maple Avenue has a three-star rating and ranks in the 65th percentile. Its 2025–2026 results were 57% proficiency in mathematics and 58% in reading, with mathematics improving by 14 percentage points in one year. Because Maple serves nearly three-quarters of students in the district’s tested grades, maintaining this progress is especially important for overall district performance. Mathematics is a clear strength at both tested schools: each exceeds the state and district comparison figures. Reading is above the state comparison but slightly below the district comparison. Glen Lake has no NH SAS results because it serves younger children, so parents should consider kindergarten readiness, early literacy, attendance, social-emotional development, and transition into first grade when evaluating that school.
