Middle Schools in Keene School District

Summary:

The Keene School District in New Hampshire has one middle school, Keene Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages, and its ranking within the state has declined over the past few years.

Keene Middle School's proficiency rates in mathematics (32%) and reading (54%) were lower than the Keene School District (38% and 57%) and the state of New Hampshire (42% and 55%) in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's science proficiency rate (41%) was slightly higher than the state average (38%). However, the school's performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates dropping in both mathematics and reading from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025.

Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (34.61% in 2023-2024), which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.2 in 2023-2024 is lower than the national average, but this does not appear to have translated into improved student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Keene Middle School may be facing challenges in improving student performance and may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to address these issues.
