Summary

Ledge Street School is an elementary school in Nashua, New Hampshire, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Nashua School District. Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in New Hampshire over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ledge Street School significantly underperforms compared to the Nashua district and the state of New Hampshire in core academic subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21% of Ledge Street students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 34% for the Nashua district and 42% for the state. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New Hampshire elementary schools for female, male, and white student performance. However, it performs slightly better for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the middle of the state. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67% to 70% over the past three years, suggests that it serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

Nearby schools, such as Birch Hill Elementary, Charlotte Ave Elementary, and Broad Street Elementary, generally outperform Ledge Street School in academic achievement and have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the significant challenges faced by Ledge Street School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for all students.
