Summary:
Farmington School District has one high school, Farmington Senior High School, serving grades 9–12 in Farmington, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 214 students, making it a small high school where year-to-year results can change noticeably with the performance of a single class. About 36% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the reported student–teacher ratio is 5.4:1, although families may want to confirm how that figure is calculated.
Academic results are mixed. Mathematics is the clearest concern: 13% of students were proficient, compared with 31% across the district and 44% statewide. The school’s 11th-grade SAT mathematics proficiency rate was also 13%, well below the 30% state average. Reading and science are stronger relative to the district. Reading proficiency was 49%, eight points above the district average but six points below the state, while science proficiency was 35%, nine points above the district and only three points below the state. For parents, these results suggest that math support should be a major priority, while reading and science provide a stronger foundation for continued improvement.
Performance has varied over time. Reading declined from 57% to 49% between the reported years, while science slipped from 38% to 35% but improved substantially compared with the district because the district average fell more sharply. The school ranking improved from 83rd of 87 schools in 2023–2024 to 50th of 86 in 2024–2025, then declined to 71st of 89 in 2025–2026; its current rating is one star. The reported 0.0% graduation rate is unusual and should be verified through official district or state records before families rely on it. Overall, the school offers a small-school setting with relative strengths in reading and science, but families should ask about mathematics instruction, recent graduation outcomes, and plans to address changing achievement results.
