Summary:
ZIP code 03446 has four public schools serving approximately 1,281 students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, all part of the Monadnock Regional School District. The schools provide a complete local progression: Mt. Caesar Elementary School serves PK–2, Cutler Elementary School serves grades 3–6, Monadnock Regional Middle School serves grades 7–8, and Monadnock Regional High School serves grades 9–12.
Among schools with published academic results, Cutler Elementary School is the strongest overall performer, with 37% of students proficient in math, 40% in reading, and 20% in science. It ranks above the other local schools but remains below statewide averages, and its scores and ranking declined recently. Monadnock Regional Middle School has shown improvement in math, although its science results are particularly weak. Its eighth-grade results are notably lower than seventh-grade results in both math and reading. Mt. Caesar Elementary School serves younger students and therefore has no comparable state test results in the provided data; its lower student-teacher ratio may be a resource advantage.
Monadnock Regional High School has the area’s strongest relative reading and science results, with 47% and 26% proficiency, respectively, but math is a major concern at just 17%. Its 85.7% graduation rate is close to the state rate, while its 8.1% dropout rate is substantially higher and deserves careful attention. Overall, the district trails statewide results in every reported subject. The most important areas for families to investigate are high-school math, middle-school science, the eighth-grade performance drop, and student support programs aimed at reducing dropout rates.
