Summary:
The 03060 zip code area in Nashua, New Hampshire is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, all part of the Nashua School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 114 out of 163 in the state, the schools in this area show significant performance disparities, with Sunset Heights School standing out as the highest-performing and Ledge Street School and Dr. Norman W. Crisp School as the lowest-performing.
Sunset Heights School consistently outperforms the other schools, the district, and the state in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency rates. In contrast, Ledge Street and Dr. Norman W. Crisp Schools have proficiency rates that are often less than half the state averages. These performance gaps suggest that students in the 03060 zip code may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities, and the data indicates a potential correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic achievement.
The schools in the 03060 zip code serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. However, the data suggests that these schools may not be effectively meeting the needs of their diverse learners. Additionally, the fact that all the schools in the area are part of the lower-ranked Nashua School District points to potential district-level challenges that could be impacting the performance of these schools. This information can be used to identify areas of focus for improving educational outcomes and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the community.
