Summary

Nashua High School North is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Nashua, New Hampshire, with a student population of 1,579. The school 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.

Nashua High School North has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 23rd out of 84 high schools in 2020-2021 to 49th out of 86 high schools in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars in 2020-2021 to 2 stars in 2024-2025. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, with 27% proficiency in math, 65% in reading, and 29% in science, compared to the state averages of 42%, 55%, and 39%, respectively. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.1% and dropout rate of 2.5% for the 2023-2024 school year are in line with the state averages.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Souhegan Coop High School and Hollis-Brookline High School, which are ranked 4th and 11th in the state, respectively, Nashua High School North performs relatively poorly. The school also faces challenges with the performance of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and special education students. To address these issues, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, exploring collaboration opportunities with high-performing schools, and engaging with the community to support school improvement initiatives.
