Summary

Mt. Pleasant School is a small K–5 public elementary school serving about 250 students at 10 Manchester St. in Nashua, NH. It is part of the Nashua School District, an urban district serving a diverse community in southern New Hampshire. The school has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of about 9.9 to 1, but its recent academic results place it near the bottom of statewide rankings.

In 2025–2026, Mt. Pleasant School ranked 222nd out of 230 New Hampshire elementary schools, in the 3rd percentile. Proficiency was 19% in math, 34% in reading, and 18% in science—below both Nashua and state averages in every subject. Math is the clearest concern, with proficiency below 25% in third, fourth, and fifth grades. Reading is relatively stronger, but fifth-grade reading dropped to 28%, compared with 42% in fourth grade. The school serves a higher-need population than several nearby schools, with 68% of students participating in free or reduced-price lunch programs, so comparisons should consider differences in student needs.

Performance varies considerably among nearby schools. The nearby Charlotte Ave Elementary School ranked in the 56th percentile, while Birch Hill Elementary School ranked in the 26th percentile and both substantially outperformed Mt. Pleasant. More similar local comparisons include Amherst Street School, Ledge Street School, and Dr. Norman W. Crisp School, which also serve higher-need student populations and have similarly low rankings. For context, nearby Hudson’s Hills Garrison Elementary School ranked much higher, although it serves a substantially different student population and district setting.
