Best Public Schools in Zip Code 03447

Summary:

The 03447 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with 156 students. The school is part of the Monadnock Regional School District, which is ranked 136 out of 158 districts in New Hampshire and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dr. George S. Emerson Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the NH SAS (New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System). In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (29%) and Reading (41%) are significantly lower than the state averages of 42% and 55%, respectively. The school's Science proficiency rate of 17% in 2024-2025 is also well below the state average of 38%. This pattern of low performance has persisted over the past few years, with the school's scores often 10-20 percentage points below the state and district averages.

The school's relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 24.36% in 2023-2024 suggests that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact their academic performance. However, the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.3 in 2023-2024 indicates that students have access to more individualized attention, though this does not seem to be translating into higher academic outcomes based on the test score data.
