Middle Schools in Laconia School District

Summary:

The Laconia School District in New Hampshire has only one middle school, Laconia Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school is underperforming compared to state and district averages, ranking 98 out of 132 middle schools in New Hampshire for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Laconia Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science consistently lower than the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 21% in 8th grade Mathematics to 49% in 7th grade Reading, compared to the state averages of 38% to 55%. Additionally, the school's performance has been declining over the past two years, with proficiency rates decreasing in most subject areas and grade levels.

The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.39% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which can be a factor in academic performance. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is lower than the state average, indicating adequate staffing resources, the overall data suggests that Laconia Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
