Summary:
ZIP code 03062 in Nashua, New Hampshire, has four elementary schools serving grades from prekindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling about 1,399 students: Bicentennial Elementary School, Main Dunstable School, MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation, and New Searles School.
Overall, this area offers stronger elementary-school results than the broader Nashua School District averages suggest. Bicentennial Elementary School is the strongest overall choice based on the latest results, ranking in the 84th statewide percentile. It leads the group in mathematics and science, with 74% and 54% proficiency, and has shown consistently high rankings over three years. New Searles School ranks second at the 78th percentile and combines solid math and reading results with the lowest student-teacher ratio, 10.6 students per teacher. It also leads the group in third-grade mathematics and reading.
Main Dunstable School remains above state averages and ranks in the 73rd percentile, but its recent results deserve attention. Its ranking fell from the 88th percentile the prior year, while science proficiency dropped 23 points and math declined 14 points. MicroSociety Academy Charter School Foundation ranks in the 57th percentile and stands out for reading, especially in grades four and five, but mathematics is its main weakness. Because it serves students through eighth grade, its schoolwide results include middle-school scores and are not directly comparable with the K–5 schools. Reading is a relative strength across all four schools, while mathematics shows the largest gap between schools.
