Summary:
ZIP code 03106 in Hooksett includes two elementary schools serving complementary grade levels: Fred C. Underhill School serves pre-kindergarten through grade 2, while Hooksett Memorial School serves grades 3 through 5. Both are part of the Hooksett School District, which ranks in the 73rd percentile statewide and has a four-star rating. Together, the schools enroll 849 students and are nearly identical in size, with 418 students at Underhill and 431 at Memorial.
Fred C. Underhill School stands out for its lower reported student–teacher ratio, 13.4 compared with 14.8 at Hooksett Memorial School. Underhill also has a lower free- or reduced-price lunch percentage, 12.92% versus 16.47%, although these figures can reflect differences in grade levels and student populations and should not be treated as direct measures of school quality. The available information does not include Underhill assessment results or a school ranking, so parents cannot make a meaningful academic comparison between the two schools using this data alone.
Hooksett Memorial School shows its strongest academic results in mathematics, with 65% of students proficient in 2025–26 compared with 44% statewide. Mathematics results were especially strong in grades 4 and 5, where proficiency reached 69% and 67%. Reading proficiency was 56%, close to the state average, and improved from 49% in grade 3 to 67% in grade 5. Science was the clearest area for improvement, at 36%, below both the district and state averages. Memorial’s statewide ranking declined over three years, but its year-over-year proficiency levels remained broadly stable, so the ranking change should be interpreted cautiously.
