Summary

Nottingham West Elementary School is a public school in Hudson, New Hampshire, serving 457 students in grades 2–5 within the Hudson School District. Located near the Nashua border, it is one of the stronger elementary schools in the surrounding area, ranking 95th out of 230 New Hampshire elementary schools for 2025–2026, or in the 59th percentile. The school has a current three-star rating and a 13.8 student-teacher ratio. Because it serves grades 2–5 rather than kindergarten through fifth grade, comparisons with nearby schools should be viewed as approximate.

Academically, Nottingham West performs above both district and state averages in mathematics, reading, and science. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 53% in math, 57% in reading, and 42% in science. Mathematics is the clearest strength: Nottingham West leads the nearby comparison schools in overall math and outperforms its closest same-district comparison, Hills Garrison Elementary School, by six percentage points. It also compares favorably with Charlotte Ave Elementary School, posting stronger math and science results, although Charlotte Ave has higher reading proficiency. Nottingham West’s science performance is also a local strength, exceeding the state and district averages.

The most important academic concern is fifth-grade mathematics, where proficiency falls to 36%, compared with 65% in third grade and 57% in fourth grade. Fifth-grade reading is much stronger at 59%, suggesting that the math decline deserves particular attention. The school’s ranking has improved substantially since the late 2010s, although it remains below its 2022–2023 peak. Nottingham West also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared with Hills Garrison, while its special education subgroup results remain below the school’s overall performance despite recent improvement. Overall, the data describe a solid upper-middle-performing school with strong local standing, notable math and science strengths, and clear opportunities to improve fifth-grade math and specialized support.
