ZIP code 03076 has one listed elementary school: Pelham Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Pelham, New Hampshire. The school enrolls about 750 students and has a favorable 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, families are not choosing among multiple local elementary campuses based on the available data. Instead, the key considerations are Pelham Elementary’s academic strengths, areas needing improvement, school environment, and fit with a child’s needs.
Pelham Elementary School performs particularly well in reading. In 2025–2026, 60% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide.

Mathematics was another positive area: 51% of students were proficient, seven percentage points higher than both the Pelham School District and New Hampshire overall. Math results were fairly consistent across grades, although fifth grade was the weakest of the three tested grades.
Science is the school’s clearest challenge. Only 31% of students were proficient in science, seven points below the statewide rate, and the reported result fell sharply from 55% the previous year. Parents may want to ask school leaders how science instruction is being strengthened and whether the decline reflects a one-year variation or a longer-term pattern. The school’s overall ranking was in the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 71st percentile the prior year but slightly above 2023–2024. Overall, Pelham Elementary offers strong reading, solid mathematics, and favorable staffing conditions, while science achievement deserves the closest attention.
