Summary:
The city of North Haverhill, New Hampshire, has only one school serving grades 4-8 - the Haverhill Cooperative Middle School. This school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels compared to the state average.
The school's math, reading, and science proficiency rates are all well below the state average, ranging from 13-38% proficient in math, 24-41% in reading, and 17-19% in science, compared to the state's 40-52%, 52-57%, and 37-38% respectively. Additionally, the school has a high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 39.17%, indicating a relatively low-income student population that may require targeted support and resources. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 is slightly lower than the state average, which could be a potential bright spot.
The Haverhill Cooperative Middle School's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 90 in 2023-2024 to 122 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 2 stars to 0 stars over the same period. Addressing the systemic challenges in the school's academic program and supporting the socioeconomic needs of the student population should be the top priorities for the school and the Haverhill Cooperative School District.
