Middle Schools in Epping School District

The Epping School District in New Hampshire contains a single middle school, Epping Middle School, which serves grades 6-8.

Epping Middle School's overall mathematics proficiency rate of 40% is below the state average of 42%, and its science proficiency rate of 31% is significantly lower than the state average of 38%.

The school has a student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, and a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 11.96%, indicating a relatively low percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite its strengths in reading, Epping Middle School's academic performance has been declining in recent years. The school is currently ranked 70th out of 132 middle schools in New Hampshire for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. This ranking has dropped from a range of 60th to 67th out of 130-134 middle schools in the state over the past few years, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state. The school's low mathematics and science proficiency rates, as well as its declining ranking and rating, indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement in these areas.
