Summary:
The 03038 zip code area in New Hampshire is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Derry Cooperative School District. The district is ranked 110 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the area are South Range Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top 50 elementary schools in New Hampshire with strong test scores, and Derry Village School, which also performs well and has a 3-4 star rating. The lowest-ranked high school, Next Charter School, still manages a respectable 89.1% 4-year graduation rate and 2.5% dropout rate.
However, the schools in the 03038 zip code generally underperform the state averages in math and reading proficiency, with most schools scoring 10-20 percentage points below the state average. The free/reduced lunch rates also vary widely, from 10.69% at Derry Early Education Program to 34.88% at Grinnell School, indicating varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors suggest that while there are pockets of strong performance, the Derry Cooperative School District faces systemic challenges in providing high-quality education across all its schools.
