ZIP code 03561, serving Littleton, New Hampshire, has one middle school: Daisy Bronson Junior High School, which serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 86 students. The school is part of the Littleton School District. Its small enrollment and 7.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio may allow for more individualized attention, while its 53.49% free- and reduced-price lunch rate indicates that many families may benefit from additional academic and community supports.

Overall, Daisy Bronson offers a small-school setting with a favorable student-teacher ratio and notable recent science improvement, but parents should pay close attention to mathematics and reading supports, especially for seventh-grade mathematics and eighth-grade reading.
