Hills Garrison School

What Hills Garrison School does

Hills Garrison Elementary School is one of two elementary schools within the Hudson School District SAU81, a publicly funded K-12 school district serving 3,068 students across six schools in Hudson, New Hampshire. The district's full portfolio comprises an Early Learning Center (preschool), two elementary schools (Hills Garrison and Nottingham West), one middle school (Hudson Memorial, grades 6-8), one high school (Alvirne High, grades 9-12), and the Wilbur H. Palmer Career & Technical Education Center, which was recently renovated and expanded with a $25 million investment to deliver 15 CTE programs serving students from nine surrounding towns.

The district operates a unified technology stack supporting instruction and operations: PowerSchool for student information management and family portal access, Schoology as the learning management system, Clever for single sign-on across student applications, LINQ Connect for online meal account management, SchoolStatus Sites for the district web platform, and FamilyID for athletic registration. Hills Garrison Elementary specifically participates in a One-to-One Technology Program in which the district provides laptops to all students, governed by formal computer responsibility guidelines and digital citizenship requirements. Compliance certifications include COPPA, FERPA, and WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility conformance.

Hills Garrison is a government state entity funded through local property tax revenues, New Hampshire state education aid, and federal grants, with no venture or private equity ownership applicable. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed on the website; ancillary fee revenue is nominal (e.g., breakfast $2.25-$2.50, lunch $3.50-$3.90, milk $0.60 per meal for the 2026-27 school year). The district is governed by a five-member elected School Board and operates under New Hampshire state education law. Customer acquisition is non-discretionary — students enroll based on district residence boundaries — making this a public utility-like entity rather than a commercially competed business.

Direct peers

• Nottingham West Elementary School (SAU81): Sister elementary school within the same Hudson School District SAU81, sharing identical facilities, staffing, and PowerSchool/Schoology integrations. Useful as a like-for-like site-level comparable for utilization, enrollment, and per-pupil benchmarking.
• Londonderry School District (SAU12): Southern New Hampshire K-12 public school district of broadly similar scale and suburban commuter-town demographic profile to Hudson School District SAU81. Comparable on grade-band mix (elementary through high school), single-SAU governance, and reliance on property-tax funding — making it the closest like-for-like public district peer.
• Pelham School District (SAU28): Smaller southern NH K-12 public school district sharing the same NH DOE regulatory framework and roughly comparable K-12 grade-band structure. Operates in a similar property-tax-dependent funding environment with strong PTA/community-engagement dynamics.
• Windham School District (SAU95): Rockingham County, NH K-12 public school district serving a similar southern-NH commuter-town population. Overlapping residential feeder patterns, similar property-tax base, and broadly equivalent K-12 program offerings including CTE pathways.
• Merrimack School District (SAU26): Southern NH K-12 public school district with comparable enrollment scale (~4,000+ students) and suburban demographic profile. Similar reliance on local property taxes and state adequacy aid, with overlapping CTE and special-education program structures.
• Salem School District (SAU57): Adjacent southern NH K-12 public school district serving a comparable suburban population within commuting distance of Hudson. Similar grade-band coverage, single-district governance, and CTE/technology investments — a direct demographic and operational comparable.

Broad incumbents

• Manchester School District: Largest NH K-12 public school district, also operating under NH adequacy-aid and SAU governance. Provides a benchmark for urban-district scale, Title I funding flows, and CTE/special-education program breadth, though with a meaningfully different urban demographic profile than Hudson.
• Nashua School District: Larger urban-fringe NH K-12 public school district serving the city of Nashua, adjacent to Hudson. Operates the same NH adequacy-aid formula and grade-band structure but at substantially greater scale (~12,000+ students), making it a broader regional benchmark for operational scale and CTE/special-ed service delivery.
