Summary

Reeds Ferry School is a public elementary school in Merrimack, New Hampshire, serving about 504 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 as part of the Merrimack School District. Merrimack is a suburban community in southern New Hampshire, and the school offers a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8 to 1. Overall, Reeds Ferry is an above-average New Hampshire school, ranking 75th out of 230 elementary schools, or around the 67th percentile.

Academically, Reeds Ferry’s clearest strength is mathematics. In 2025-2026, 58% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide and 47% across the district. Reading proficiency was also above the state average at 58%, although it was close to the district’s 59%. Third-grade results were stronger than fourth-grade results: reading fell from 62% to 54%, and math declined from 60% to 55%. The fourth-grade reading result is the main area parents may want to watch. Reeds Ferry ranks between the other Merrimack elementary schools: it trails James Mastricola Elementary School, especially in math, but outperforms Thorntons Ferry School in both subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Reeds Ferry is substantially ahead of Parker-Varney School and Highland-Goffes Falls School in Manchester, but it trails higher-performing schools such as Riddle Brook School, Peter Woodbury School, Griffin Memorial School, and North Londonderry Elementary School. The school’s long-term ranking has improved considerably, though results have softened since a particularly strong 2023-2024 year. Its special education subgroup remains a notable strength, ranking in the upper third statewide in 2025-2026. For families, Reeds Ferry looks like a solid, supportive school with strong math performance and good staffing resources, while fourth-grade reading and consistency across years are important areas for continued improvement.
