Schools in Zip Code 03561

ZIP code 03561 has four schools serving 612 students across kindergarten through grade 12 in the Littleton area: one elementary school, one junior high, and two high schools. Three schools are part of the Littleton School District, while North Country Charter Academy is a separate charter school. The schools vary considerably in size and performance, so grade level and school-specific results are important when comparing options.

Littleton High School is the strongest recent ranking performer, placing 31st among 89 New Hampshire high schools, up substantially from prior years. Its reading results are especially strong: 72% of students are proficient, well above the state rate of 55%. Mathematics remains a concern at 28%, however, and its 79% graduation rate and 4.6% dropout rate are weaker than statewide figures. North Country Charter Academy (H) reports an 88.2% graduation rate and zero dropout rate, both better than state benchmarks. Its small enrollment of 45 students and lack of current testing and ranking data make academic comparisons less complete.

Mildred C. Lakeway School, which serves about half of all students in the ZIP code, has the greatest immediate academic concerns. It ranks in the 27th percentile, and mathematics proficiency falls sharply from 49% in grade 4 to 19% in grade 5 and 26% in grade 6. Daisy Bronson Junior High School ranks in the 25th percentile, with reading and mathematics below state rates, although science is a relative strength at 38%, matching the state. Across the district, mathematics is below state performance at every level, making K–12 math improvement a key priority alongside Lakeway’s upper-grade support, middle-school reading, and high-school graduation outcomes.
