Summary

Green Acres School is an elementary school located in Manchester, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 433 students. The school is part of the Manchester School District, which is ranked 151 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Green Acres School has consistently performed better than the Manchester School District average in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 45% of Green Acres students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 18% for the district. Similarly, 38% of Green Acres students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 28% for the district. However, the school's performance for specific student groups, such as female, male, and white students, has been relatively lower, with rankings in the bottom half of the state. The school's performance for special education students has also been mixed, with a drop in ranking from 21st out of 52 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 53rd out of 71 schools in 2023-2024.

While Green Acres School has shown some academic strengths, its overall performance has declined over the years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 102nd out of 206 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2014-2015 school year to 169th out of 224 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 1. This decline may be related to the school's increasing free and reduced-lunch rate, which has risen from 20.55% in the 2021-2022 school year to 23.56% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school is serving a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
