Summary:
Raymond High School is the only public high school in the Raymond School District, serving grades 9–12 and 326 students in the Raymond, New Hampshire area. With a student–teacher ratio of 11.2:1, the school is relatively small and may offer opportunities for more individualized attention. About 21.47% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing useful socioeconomic context when considering the school’s results.
Academic performance is strongest in reading. In 2025–2026, 64% of students were proficient in reading, exceeding both the district rate of 54% and the New Hampshire rate of 55%; the school’s 11th-grade SAT reading proficiency was also above the state level. Mathematics is improving but remains a concern: proficiency rose from 21% to 31% in one year, yet still trailed the district by 12 percentage points and the state by 13 points. Science is the most urgent academic weakness, with proficiency falling from 32% to 27%, compared with 38% statewide. The 11th-grade science result was similarly low at 27%.
Other outcomes show both positive signs and areas needing attention. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 87.8%, slightly above New Hampshire’s 87.0%, while the dropout rate was 5.4%, more than twice the state rate of 2.3%. The school’s ranking improved substantially, moving from 57th of 86 schools in 2024–2025 to 36th of 89 in 2025–2026, and its rating rose from two stars to three. For families comparing high schools in the area, there is no within-district alternative; the main considerations are Raymond’s strong reading performance, improving but below-average mathematics results, weak science outcomes, and elevated dropout rate.
