Summary:
The Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District has one middle school, Conant Middle High School (M), serving grades 6–8 in the Jaffrey, New Hampshire area. The school enrolls 241 students, has a 16:1 student-teacher ratio, and serves a relatively small middle-school community, so there are no other district middle schools for direct comparison.
Conant Middle High School (M)’s strongest subject is reading. In 2025–2026, 53% of students were proficient, compared with 48% across the district and 55% statewide. Sixth-grade reading was especially strong at 55%, exceeding the state rate, while seventh-grade reading matched the state at 57%. Mathematics was more mixed: 36% of students were proficient overall, slightly above the district’s 34% but below the state’s 44%. Sixth- and seventh-grade math results were close to statewide performance, with seventh grade matching the state at 44%. Science proficiency was 36%, two points below both the district and state averages.
The most important area for improvement is eighth-grade mathematics, where 24% of students were proficient—16 points below the statewide rate. Eighth-grade reading was also lower than the sixth- and seventh-grade results, suggesting that the transition into eighth grade deserves attention. At the same time, the school showed broad year-over-year improvement: math rose 10 percentage points, reading increased 5 points, and science improved 17 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Historical ranking data also show improvement from the 24th percentile to the 44th percentile, although another summary lists a different current ranking, so rankings should be verified. Overall, parents can view the school as performing somewhat better than the district in reading and math, with encouraging recent gains but a clear need to strengthen eighth-grade math.
