Summary:
Raymond School District in Raymond, New Hampshire, serves about 1,072 students across three public schools covering kindergarten through grade 12: Lamprey River Elementary School (K–3), Iber Holmes Gove Middle School (grades 4–8), and Raymond High School (grades 9–12). The district offers a continuous neighborhood-school pathway, with similar student–teacher ratios of about 11 students per teacher and moderate economic need across the schools.
The strongest elementary result is mathematics at Lamprey River Elementary School, where 60% of students were proficient, well above district and state results. Reading was more mixed, declining to 53%, so literacy is an area to watch. Iber Holmes Gove Middle School produced results close to district averages overall, but performance varied sharply by grade. Fifth- and seventh-grade reading were strong, while sixth-grade mathematics was particularly weak at 26% proficiency and eighth-grade reading was 40%. These differences suggest that families may want to pay attention to grade-level support, especially during the transition into middle school.
Raymond High School has the district’s strongest reading performance, with 64% proficiency, and showed the largest recent ranking improvement. Mathematics also improved substantially, though 31% proficiency remains below district and state levels. Science is a concern across the secondary grades, with results below the state at both the middle and high schools; high school science fell to 27%. The high school’s graduation rate is slightly above the state rate, but its 5.4% dropout rate is a significant concern. Overall, the district offers notable strengths in elementary mathematics and high school reading, while the main priorities are secondary mathematics, science, eighth-grade reading, and student persistence.
