Summary

Nashua High School North is a large public high school in Nashua, NH, serving grades 9–12 and about 1,543 students in the Nashua School District. Located near several other high schools, it serves a more economically diverse student population than most nearby comparison schools, which is important context when reviewing its results. The school is currently ranked 67th out of 89 New Hampshire high schools, in the 25th percentile, with a one-star rating.

The school’s biggest academic concern is mathematics. Only 18% of students were proficient in math in 2025–2026, compared with 33% in the district and 44% statewide. Reading is a relative strength at 53% proficiency—10 points above the district, though slightly below the state—and science proficiency was 31%, four points above the district but below the state. Results in all three subjects have weakened or remained low in recent years, and the school’s statewide ranking has fallen steadily from the 73rd percentile in 2020–2021. The nearby, similarly sized Nashua High School South offers a useful same-district comparison: South has higher math and reading proficiency and a stronger overall ranking, while North performs better in science.

North’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 82.7%, close to South’s 82.5% and the district’s 82.3%, but below New Hampshire’s 87% and most nearby schools. Its 3.1% dropout rate improved substantially from the previous year but remains above the state rate. Nearby schools such as Merrimack High School, Milford High School, and Hollis-Brookline High School report stronger overall outcomes, though they generally serve smaller or lower-need student populations. Key priorities for North are improving math, stabilizing reading performance, supporting graduation, and examining differences in outcomes among student groups.
