Summary

Charlotte Ave Elementary School is a public K–5 school in Nashua, New Hampshire, serving about 362 students in a diverse, economically mixed community within the Nashua School District. The school is one of the district’s stronger performers: 51% of students were proficient in math, 61% in reading, and 33% in science. Its latest statewide ranking was 101st out of 230 elementary schools, placing it in the 56th percentile.

Reading is the school’s clearest strength. Charlotte Ave had the highest overall reading proficiency among the nearby Nashua schools listed, including Birch Hill Elementary School, Broad Street Elementary School, and Fairgrounds Elementary School. Fourth-grade reading proficiency was 65%, and fifth-grade proficiency was 70%, both above state averages. Math was also solid, exceeding the district and state overall, although fifth-grade math fell to 43% after a stronger fourth-grade result. Compared with Broad Street, Charlotte Ave had slightly lower math and science scores but stronger reading and a slightly better statewide rank. Its 11.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable compared with several nearby schools.

Science is the main academic opportunity: 33% proficiency was above the district result but below the state average. Families may also want to ask about fifth-grade math support and services for students receiving special education, whose statewide subgroup ranking declined notably in the latest year. Overall, Charlotte Ave has shown fairly stable performance over time and substantially outperforms several nearby schools, including Ledge Street School, Amherst Street School, and Dr. Norman W. Crisp School. It stands out as a strong local option, particularly for literacy, while still having room to improve in science, upper-grade math, and special education outcomes.
