Summary

Mt. Pleasant School is an elementary school located in Nashua, New Hampshire, serving 257 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Nashua School District, which is ranked 108 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Mt. Pleasant School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Hampshire elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating.

Academically, Mt. Pleasant School consistently underperforms compared to the Nashua School District and the state of New Hampshire in standardized test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15% of Mt. Pleasant students were proficient or better in math, compared to 34% for the Nashua district and 42% statewide. In reading, 29% of Mt. Pleasant students were proficient, compared to 45% for the district and 55% statewide. Additionally, Mt. Pleasant School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (73.54% in 2023-2024) compared to the district and state averages.

When comparing Mt. Pleasant School to other elementary schools in the Nashua district, it stands out as one of the lowest-performing. For instance, Charlotte Ave Elementary School, located just 0.82 miles away, ranked 87th out of 224 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had significantly higher test scores across all subjects and grades. The relatively low student-teacher ratio at Mt. Pleasant School (8.9 in 2023-2024) could be an asset, but this advantage does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching methods, or school leadership, may need to be addressed.
