Summary:
ZIP code 03230 has one listed public school, Danbury Elementary School, serving kindergarten through fifth grade in the Danbury community. Families should note that the ZIP code does not include a middle school, high school, or alternative school, so students will attend schools outside the ZIP code for later grades. The elementary school enrolls 66 students and is part of the Newfound Area School District.
Danbury Elementary School offers a notably small-school setting, with an 8.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio that may support individual attention and targeted instruction. In 2025–2026, 43% of students were proficient in mathematics and 46% were proficient in reading. Mathematics was nearly equal to both district and statewide results, while reading was nine percentage points below each. Grade-level results were mixed: third-grade mathematics was strong at 53% proficient, and fourth-grade reading reached 50%, but third-grade reading and fourth-grade mathematics were each 33%. Fourth-grade mathematics is the clearest current academic concern because it trailed the state by 19 percentage points.
The school has shown encouraging year-over-year improvement. Overall mathematics proficiency rose 10 percentage points from 2024–2025, and reading increased seven points. However, the school’s ranking remains below its 2022–2023 level, and the prior year’s science result was 0% proficiency. Because the school is very small, results can change substantially when only a few students perform differently, so parents should consider multi-year trends rather than one percentage alone. About 39% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, indicating that family support and intervention services are important considerations. Overall, the school combines a small setting and recent gains with uneven academic performance, especially in reading and fourth-grade mathematics.
