Summary:
The Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District has one high school serving grades 9–12: Conant Middle High School in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 336 students and provides a small-school setting for families in the Jaffrey-Rindge area. Because it is the district’s only high school, there are no school-to-school comparisons to make; the most useful benchmarks are district and New Hampshire averages, along with the school’s results over time.
Conant Middle High School has several important strengths. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95.2%, well above the 87.0% statewide rate, and its reported dropout rate was 0.0%, compared with 2.3% statewide. Academic results are strongest in reading and science. In 2025–2026, 53% of students were proficient in reading, five points above the district average and just two points below the state average. Science proficiency was 39%, roughly matching or slightly exceeding district and state results. Science also improved substantially from 24% the previous year. The school’s ranking rose from the 14th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026, indicating encouraging overall progress.
The main concern for families is mathematics. Only 19% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 34% in the district and 44% statewide. SAT results showed the same pattern, with 19% meeting the mathematics benchmark versus 30% statewide. Mathematics proficiency also declined from 24% the prior year, while reading fell from 58% to 53%. The reported student-teacher ratio is 21.2 to 1, which may make intensive individual or small-group support more difficult. Overall, Conant Middle High School appears strongest in helping students remain enrolled and graduate, with comparatively solid reading and science outcomes, but mathematics improvement should be the district’s highest academic priority.
