It is part of the Manchester School District, an urban district that ranks near the bottom statewide. Despite that challenging district context, Green Acres is one of the stronger-performing schools in the local Manchester comparison group, earning a 37th-percentile statewide ranking and two stars in 2025–26.

Green Acres’ grade 4 results were especially solid, with 48% proficiency in math and 46% in reading. By comparison, similarly sized Smyth Road School posted 47% in math and 42% in reading.

The school has shown encouraging recent progress: its statewide ranking rose from the 21st percentile in 2023–24 to the 37th percentile in 2025–26, while math proficiency increased from 40% to 50% over the same period. Its student-teacher ratio also improved to 11.6. Green Acres serves a lower-poverty student population than most nearby Manchester schools, an important factor when comparing results. Stronger nearby alternatives include North Londonderry Elementary School, with 66% math and 65% reading proficiency, and Mill Falls Charter School, which leads Green Acres in reading at 63% but trails it in math at 42%. Overall, Green Acres appears to be a relative success within Manchester, with reading, science, and consistent outcomes across student groups remaining key opportunities for improvement.
