Summary

Bakersville School is a public elementary school in Manchester, New Hampshire, serving 329 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 through the Manchester School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 62.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Its reported student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1 is lower than that of most nearby elementary schools, although the school’s statewide academic ranking remains low.

Recent results show encouraging progress from a very low starting point. Bakersville’s mathematics proficiency rose from 15% in 2023–24 to 33% in 2025–26, placing it above the Manchester district average of 20% but below New Hampshire’s 44%. Reading proficiency also improved, from 14% to 28%, though it remains below both the district and state averages. Grade 3 reading is the clearest concern, with only 21% of students proficient, while grade 4 mathematics is a relative strength at 35%. Overall, the school ranked in the 6th statewide percentile in 2025–26—an improvement from the 0th percentile two years earlier, but still within the state’s lower-performing group.

Compared with nearby schools serving similarly high-need populations, Bakersville’s results are more competitive. Its mathematics performance exceeded McDonough School and Gossler Park School, and its reading results were also stronger than those schools. However, schools such as Green Acres School, Highland-Goffes Falls School, and Jewett School reported higher proficiency rates. Regional benchmarks are even higher at Polaris Charter School and Memorial School, though their student populations and school settings differ. The key takeaway is that Bakersville appears to be improving, with mathematics leading the gains, while early reading—especially grade 3—remains the most important academic priority.
