Summary

Great Brook School is a public middle school located in Antrim, New Hampshire, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 216 students. It is part of the Contoocook Valley School District, which is ranked 96 out of 158 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Great Brook School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores for mathematics, reading, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 42% at the state level and 41% in the district. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rate of 49% was lower than the state and district averages of 55%. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 47th out of 107 middle schools in 2014-2015 to 86th out of 132 in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Great Brook School generally underperforms. For instance, South Meadow School, which is also part of the Contoocook Valley School District, outperforms Great Brook School in both mathematics and reading proficiency rates. Similarly, Hopkinton Middle School, which is in a different district, significantly outperforms Great Brook School across all subject areas. The higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the performance gaps between student groups at Great Brook School may be contributing factors to the school's overall lower academic achievement, and addressing these disparities could be a key focus for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
