ZIP code 03840 has one listed school, Greenland Central School, a small K–8 campus serving 367 students in the Greenland community. Although classified as an elementary school, it serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade, so families do not need to look to a separately listed middle school within the ZIP code. The school has a low 9.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and a 4.36% free- or reduced-price lunch rate. It belongs to the Greenland School District, which is ranked 30th out of 166 New Hampshire districts, in the 82nd percentile, with four stars.

Parents may want to look more closely at variation among grades. Third-grade reading was the school’s clearest weakness, with 42% proficiency compared with 51% statewide, while third-grade mathematics was only modestly above the state average. Eighth-grade mathematics was another area to monitor: 43% of students were proficient, only three points above the state rate and far below the seventh-grade result, even though eighth-grade reading was strong at 72%. The school’s ranking has declined from the 94th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 81st percentile in 2025–2026, but it remains a high-performing school overall, with notable strengths in reading, mathematics, and its small-school environment.
