Summary:
The Sanborn Regional Middle School is the only middle school in the Sanborn Regional School District, serving approximately 251 students in grades 6–8 in Kingston, New Hampshire. Because there is only one middle school in the district, families cannot compare multiple district schools, but they can evaluate this school’s performance against district and statewide results.
The school has shown encouraging recent progress. Its statewide ranking improved from 81st of 130 schools in 2023–2024 to 56th of 138 in 2025–2026, while its percentile rose from the 38th to the 59th percentile. Academic results also improved in every subject: mathematics increased 11 percentage points to 46% proficient, science rose 7 points to 42%, and reading increased 2 points to 54%.

Performance varies considerably by grade, giving parents specific areas to consider. Eighth-grade reading was the strongest result, with 64% of students proficient—13 points above the state—while sixth-grade reading reached 55%. Seventh-grade reading was weaker at 46%, or 11 points below the state. Mathematics was strongest in seventh grade at 51% and sixth grade at 49%, but eighth-grade mathematics fell to 37%, below the state rate. The school’s 10.2:1 student-teacher ratio may support individualized attention, although proficiency remained below 50% in all-grade mathematics and science. Overall, the school is improving and performs competitively statewide, with eighth-grade mathematics and seventh-grade reading the clearest areas for continued focus.
