Summary

Broken Ground School is a public elementary school in Concord, New Hampshire, serving 291 students in grades 3–5 within the Concord School District. Located in a community with several nearby elementary schools and a natural grade-span connection to Mill Brook School, it offers a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1. The school’s 2025–26 statewide ranking was 109th out of 230 schools, placing it at the 53rd percentile and earning three out of five stars.

The school’s most notable story is its improvement. Broken Ground rose from the 25th percentile in 2021–22 to the 53rd percentile currently, after several years of lower rankings. Its academic results are generally solid: 49% of students were proficient in mathematics, 56% in reading, and 44% in science. Mathematics and science exceeded New Hampshire averages, while reading matched the state. Science is a particular strength compared with nearby schools, slightly exceeding results at Christa McAuliffe School, Beaver Meadow School, and Abbot-Downing School. Fifth-grade reading is another standout, with 64% proficiency. Broken Ground ranks close to Abbot-Downing and ahead of Beaver Meadow, although it trails Christa McAuliffe and the especially strong Bow Elementary School.

The clearest area for improvement is fourth-grade mathematics, where 45% proficiency was below both district and state results. The school’s overall mathematics results have nevertheless improved substantially since 2022–23, and science has also made strong long-term gains despite a decline from the previous year. Broken Ground serves a relatively higher-need population than Bow, Abbot-Downing, and Pembroke Hill School, making its competitive results noteworthy. Parents may also want to follow the recent difference between female and male subgroup effectiveness ratings, as well as the school’s improving outcomes for students receiving special education services. Overall, Broken Ground appears to be a steadily improving school with balanced performance, strong science and fifth-grade reading, and meaningful potential for further gains in fourth-grade math.
