Summary:
The Farmington School District has only one middle school, Henry Wilson Memorial School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a ranking of 47th out of 134 New Hampshire middle schools in 2022-2023 to 71st out of 132 in 2024-2025, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Henry Wilson Memorial School has mixed results compared to the state average. While its science proficiency rates are above the state average, with 64% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, its mathematics and reading proficiency rates are below the state average across all grade levels. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 41.09%, suggesting it may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges.
Despite these challenges, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, indicating smaller class sizes that can be beneficial for student learning. The Farmington School District may want to further investigate the factors contributing to the school's declining performance and uneven academic results, and implement strategies to support the needs of its middle school students.
