Summary:
The Rochester School District in New Hampshire has only one middle school, Rochester Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Rochester Middle School appears to be a low-performing school within the district and the state, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of New Hampshire middle schools over the past three years.
Rochester Middle School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly underperforms the state averages on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 24% in mathematics (vs. 42% statewide), 34% in reading (vs. 55% statewide), and 23% in science (vs. 38% statewide). Additionally, the school serves a relatively high-need population, with over 36% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's low performance, it does have a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 13.5, which could indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students. Overall, the data suggests that Rochester Middle School is a low-performing school within the Rochester School District and the state of New Hampshire, with significant room for improvement in academic achievement and overall school quality.
