Summary:
Raymond School District has one listed middle school, Iber Holmes Gove Middle School, serving grades 4–8 in Raymond, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 413 students, reports an 11.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and has about 29% of students participating in free or reduced-price lunch programs. Because it is the district’s only middle school, families are evaluating one school rather than choosing among multiple local options.
Iber Holmes Gove Middle School has mixed but generally near-average academic results. Overall proficiency is 41% in math, 53% in reading, and 34% in science. Reading is the school’s strongest subject, while science is the weakest, although science improved by 6 percentage points from the prior year and is 2 points above the district average. Math and reading are slightly below both district and state averages. Results vary considerably by grade: fifth-grade reading and seventh-grade math and reading are notable strengths, with each exceeding state results, while sixth-grade math is a major concern at just 26% proficient. Eighth grade also trails the state in all three reported subjects.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that performance depends strongly on the grade and subject. The school’s favorable student-teacher ratio may support smaller instructional groups, but families should ask how interventions address sixth-grade math and the broad eighth-grade declines. The school’s overall ranking was near the middle of the comparison group, but its latest standing fell to the 41st percentile and its rating declined from three stars to two. At the same time, strong seventh-grade outcomes and improving science results indicate areas of success that may support continued improvement.
