Summary:
ZIP code 03222, which includes the Bristol, New Hampshire area, has one high school: Newfound Regional High School, serving grades 9–12. The school enrolls 357 students and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1. It is part of the Newfound Area School District, and because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, families are evaluating one primary local option rather than choosing among several nearby high schools.
Newfound Regional High School has several encouraging results. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89.4%, above the New Hampshire average of 87.0%. On the 2025–2026 NH SAS, reading proficiency was 58%, slightly higher than both the district and state rates of 55%. Science proficiency was 39%, just above the state rate of 38%, while all three tested subjects improved from the previous year. The school’s statewide standing also rebounded considerably, rising from the 19th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026.
The biggest concern for families is mathematics. Only 24% of students were proficient in NH SAS mathematics, compared with 44% in both the Newfound Area School District and New Hampshire statewide results. Mathematics also lagged the state on the SAT, although the school matched the district. Reading was much stronger than mathematics, with a 34-point difference between the two subjects. The school’s 3.1% dropout rate was also higher than the state rate of 2.3%. Overall, the school shows strong graduation results and recent academic improvement, but parents should pay particular attention to mathematics support, student retention, and available interventions.
