Summary:
The Hillsboro-Deering Cooperative School District in New Hampshire is home to a single high school, Hillsboro-Deering High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, its academic performance has been a concern in recent years.
Hillsboro-Deering High School's statewide ranking has declined from 42nd to 61st out of 85-87 high schools in New Hampshire over the past few years, and it is currently rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like mathematics, reading, and science are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 16% of students proficient in mathematics and 59% proficient in reading in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 42% and 55%, respectively. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.1% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 2.5% is slightly higher.
One potential factor contributing to the school's academic challenges may be the high percentage of students (36.17%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's declining performance and underperformance in core subjects suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in areas such as curriculum, instruction, and student support services to better serve the needs of the school's diverse student population.
