Summary:
The Haverhill Cooperative School District has one middle school serving grades 4–8: Haverhill Cooperative Middle School in North Haverhill, New Hampshire. The school enrolls about 229 students and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1. Because it is the district’s only middle school, there are no other local middle schools in this list for direct comparison. Families should therefore consider the school’s grade-level results, subject strengths, and recent performance trends when evaluating the area.
Reading is the school’s strongest subject overall, with 34% of students proficient compared with 13% in mathematics and 20% in science. Reading is particularly stronger in grades 4 and 5, where proficiency reaches 46% and 48%, respectively. However, sixth-grade reading drops sharply to 18%, before improving to 31% in seventh grade and 33% in eighth grade. Mathematics is a broad concern across the tested grades, with proficiency between 18% and 21%, while eighth-grade science is the lowest individual result at 14%. Overall, the school trails New Hampshire averages in every subject, especially mathematics, where the gap is 31 percentage points.
Recent results show mixed but generally weak progress. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, mathematics proficiency fell four percentage points, reading declined one point, and science improved two points. The school’s reported ranking also declined substantially, from the 31st percentile in 2023–2024 to approximately the bottom 4–6% in the latest information. Parents may want to ask about mathematics interventions, support during the transition into sixth grade, and plans to strengthen eighth-grade science. The school’s relatively stronger early-grade reading performance could provide a useful foundation for improving literacy in later grades. A 34.06% free/reduced-price lunch rate also indicates meaningful economic need, an important consideration when assessing available student supports.
