Best Public Schools in Zip Code 03431

Summary:

The 03431 zip code area in New Hampshire is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, primarily part of the Keene School District. While the district as a whole lags behind state averages, a few standout schools, including Symonds Elementary School, Gathering Waters Charter School (H), and Surry Village Charter School, consistently outperform their peers in the region.

The charter schools in the area, Gathering Waters Charter School and Surry Village Charter School, tend to have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings compared to the public schools in the Keene School District. This suggests that the charter school model may be providing a more effective educational experience for some students in the area. However, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, highlighting the variability in the quality of education within the same geographic region.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Franklin Elementary School and Wheelock Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and rankings. Understanding and addressing these disparities could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the 03431 zip code area.
