Summary:
ZIP code 03849 has one elementary school, Madison Elementary School, serving Pre-K through Grade 6 in the small New Hampshire community of Madison. The school enrolls 129 students and has an 11:1 student-teacher ratio, which may support relatively small instructional groups and individualized attention. About 30.23% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing important context about the community served. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons available.
For parents reviewing academic results, reading is the school’s strongest broad subject area: 51% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 55% statewide. Reading results were consistent across Grades 3 through 6, ranging from 50% to 52%, with Grade 6 matching the state rate. Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to New Hampshire, with 42% proficiency compared with 38% statewide. Science also improved substantially from 31% the previous year. Mathematics is the main area needing attention, with 30% proficiency compared with 44% statewide. Grade 5 mathematics was a bright spot at 50%, exceeding the state’s 43%, while Grade 6 mathematics was much weaker at 19% compared with 43% statewide.
The school’s overall ranking has been stable but below the state midpoint, remaining near the 31st-to-35th percentile over the last three reported years and receiving two stars in each year. The available results for Madison School District are identical to the school’s reported subject results, so the state comparison is the more useful benchmark. Overall, Madison Elementary shows stable reading, encouraging science growth, and a favorable staffing ratio, but mathematics—especially in Grades 3, 4, and 6—stands out as the clearest opportunity for improvement. Small grade-level cohorts may also cause percentages to shift noticeably from year to year.
