Summary

Alvirne High School is a public school serving about 976 students in grades 9–12 in Hudson, New Hampshire, a community in the greater Nashua area, and is part of the Hudson School District. For 2025–2026, it ranks 43rd of 89 New Hampshire high schools, placing it near the state midpoint at the 52nd percentile. Its overall profile is mixed: reading and science are around the state average, while mathematics and graduation outcomes are important concerns.

Academic results show a clear subject-area difference. Alvirne’s proficiency rates are 57% in reading, 40% in science, and 23% in mathematics. Reading is slightly above the state average, and science is also modestly above the state, but math is 21 percentage points below the statewide result. The 23% SAT math proficiency rate reinforces that mathematics is the school’s most persistent academic weakness. Nearby schools such as Windham High School and Souhegan Coop High School report much higher math proficiency, while Alvirne performs better than Nashua High School North and Pelham High School in math.

The most concerning recent result is Alvirne’s 77.5% graduation rate, well below New Hampshire’s 87.0% and lower than nearby schools including Londonderry Senior High School, Merrimack High School, and Windham. However, its 1.5% dropout rate is below the state rate, suggesting that graduation challenges may also involve credit completion, delayed graduation, transfers, or other pathways. Special education effectiveness is another major concern, ranking 31st of 33 statewide. Positives include a favorable 11.6 student-teacher ratio, stable reading performance, science results near the state average, and a recent recovery from a ranking decline. Families may want to ask specifically about math support, graduation monitoring, and services for students receiving special education.
