Summary:
The Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District has one middle school, Wilton-Lyndeboro Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the small community of Wilton, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 130 students and has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6:1, suggesting a relatively favorable staffing environment. Because it is the district’s only middle school, there are no nearby district schools to compare directly; the most useful comparisons are with district and state results.
Overall, the school’s performance is mixed but generally close to district levels. In 2025–2026, 50% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 49% districtwide and 55% statewide. Science proficiency was 36%, just above the district’s 35% and close to the state’s 38%. Mathematics was the main weakness: 34% were proficient, compared with 38% districtwide and 44% statewide. Math results were consistently low across grades—34% in sixth grade, 35% in seventh grade, and 33% in eighth grade—although the school improved by 11 percentage points from the previous year. Science also improved by 3 points, while reading declined by 4 points.
Reading performance varies sharply by grade and is an important focus for parents. Sixth-grade reading proficiency was 30%, well below the state’s 52%, while seventh grade reached 50%. Eighth-grade reading was a standout result at 73%, exceeding both the district’s 71% and the state’s 51%. This large difference suggests that families should ask about sixth-grade transition support, reading intervention, and the practices contributing to eighth-grade success. The school has maintained a two-star rating in the reported rankings and generally places below the middle of comparison groups, but its improving math and science results provide some positive momentum. With a small enrollment, yearly percentages may shift noticeably as student cohorts change.
