Summary

Smyth Road School is an elementary school in Manchester, New Hampshire, serving 390 students in grades PK-5. 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. Smyth Road School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 162-224 out of around 230 schools and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Smyth Road School consistently underperforms the state and district averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37% of Smyth Road students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 42% statewide and 18% in the Manchester School District. Similarly, only 38% of Smyth Road students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 55% statewide and 28% in the district. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30-36% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

The data shows that Smyth Road School is consistently one of the lower-performing schools in the Manchester School District, with several nearby schools, such as Beech Street School, Weston Elementary School, Northwest Elementary School, Gossler Park School, and McDonough School, also ranking in the bottom quarter of New Hampshire elementary schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Smyth Road School are not unique but rather reflect broader issues within the Manchester School District.
