Summary:
ZIP code 03812 has one elementary school, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, a small pre-K–8 school serving 165 students in the Bartlett area. The school offers a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7:1 and is the primary public school option in the area. Since it is the only school in the ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; its results are best understood by comparing them with statewide averages and its own prior performance.
Academic performance is mixed. In 2025–2026, 39% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44% statewide, while 46% were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide. Science was a relative strength at 42%, four points above the state average. The strongest grade was seventh, with 52% proficiency in math and 62% in reading, both above statewide results. Areas needing the most attention include fourth-grade math and reading, sixth-grade math, and eighth-grade science. Fourth-grade math proficiency was 28%, compared with 52% statewide, and sixth-grade math was 21%, compared with 43% statewide.
There are also signs of recent progress. Math proficiency increased 11 percentage points from the prior year, and science rose 13 points, while reading remained nearly unchanged. The school’s statewide ranking improved slightly to 187th of 230 schools, or about the 19th percentile, but it retained a one-star rating. Results may fluctuate from year to year because the school and individual grade levels are small. The school’s reported results match those of the Bartlett School District, so the most useful comparisons for families are with New Hampshire averages and the school’s grade-specific results. Overall, the school offers a small setting and some clear strengths, but families should look closely at its uneven academic performance across grades and subjects.
