Summary:
ZIP code 03230 has one elementary school, Danbury Elementary School, serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade in a small, community-oriented area. The school enrolls 66 students, or roughly 11 students per grade on average, and reports a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2. Its small size may allow for more individualized attention, although results can change noticeably from year to year because a few students can significantly affect schoolwide percentages.
Danbury Elementary School shows mixed but improving academic results. In 2025–2026, mathematics proficiency was 43%, nearly matching both the Newfound Area School District and the state at 44%. Reading proficiency was 46%, however, nine points below both district and state results. The school improved from the previous year by 10 percentage points in mathematics and 7 points in reading. Its ranking also improved from the 16th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 28th percentile in 2025–2026, although it remains below the statewide midpoint.
Performance varies significantly by grade and subject. Third-grade mathematics was a relative strength, with 53% proficiency, slightly above the district and close to the state. Fourth-grade reading was also comparatively strong at 50%, exceeding the district by six points and coming within two points of the state. The main areas needing attention are third-grade reading, at 33% compared with 48% in the district and 51% statewide, and fourth-grade mathematics, at 33% compared with 41% districtwide and 52% statewide. Parents should view the school as one with encouraging recent progress but uneven achievement, especially in reading overall, third-grade reading, and fourth-grade math.
