Summary:
The 03301 ZIP code includes 8 schools serving about 3,856 students from prekindergarten through grade 12, primarily through the Concord School District, plus one small charter high school, in an area with generally strong elementary results but more significant challenges in secondary mathematics and graduation.
Among elementary schools, Christa McAuliffe School is the standout. It ranks in the 71st statewide percentile and has remained consistently strong, with 59% math and 63% reading proficiency. Abbot-Downing School is another strong option, especially in mathematics, while Broken Ground School performs above state averages in math, reading, and science. Beaver Meadow School showed the biggest recent rebound in ranking, although its fourth-grade results are much weaker than its third- and fifth-grade results. Mill Brook School serves prekindergarten through grade 2, but the available data do not include achievement results, so it cannot be fairly compared academically. Elementary science is a particular area of strength across the ZIP code.
At the secondary level, Rundlett Middle School performs near the statewide middle, with 53% reading, 38% math, and 36% science proficiency. Concord High School has improved its statewide ranking, and its reading, science, and dropout results are encouraging, but only 19% of students are proficient in math and its 73.2% graduation rate trails the 87% state rate. Synergy Academy Chartered Public School is a very small 21-student high school with limited published outcome data. Overall, parents should view the elementary schools as the strongest part of the local system while paying close attention to mathematics progress, graduation support, and the transition from elementary to secondary school.
