Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 03570

ZIP code 03570 has one elementary school, Berlin Elementary School, serving students from Pre-K through Grade 5 in the Berlin area. The school enrolls 412 students and reports a 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare it with another local elementary school; the most useful comparisons are with the Berlin School District and New Hampshire statewide results.

Berlin Elementary School performs better than the Berlin School District in all three reported subjects for 2025–2026. Proficiency was 32% in mathematics, 40% in reading, and 24% in science, compared with district results of 23%, 35%, and 18%. Reading is the clearest strength: results increased from 28% in Grade 3 to 35% in Grade 4 and 59% in Grade 5. Grade 5 reading slightly exceeded the statewide comparison of 58%, suggesting that older elementary students are showing especially strong reading performance. Grade 4 mathematics was the school’s best mathematics result at 40%, although it remained below the statewide 52%.

Parents should also be aware that overall results remain below New Hampshire averages: the school trails the state by 12 percentage points in mathematics, 15 in reading, and 14 in science. Science is the main area of concern, with only 24% proficient and a 7-point decline from the prior year. Grade 3 mathematics is another priority, at 22% proficient. The school’s 63.83% free- or reduced-price lunch rate indicates substantial economic need in the student population, while the relatively favorable student-teacher ratio may support individualized help. Overall, Berlin Elementary School appears stronger than its district but continues to face a sizable statewide achievement gap.
