Summary

A. Crosby Kennett Middle School is a public school serving about 308 students in grades 6–8 in Conway, New Hampshire, a Mount Washington Valley community, and is part of the Conway School District. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, which may support small-group instruction and individualized attention. Its latest statewide standing is 93rd out of 138 schools, placing it around the 33rd percentile with a two-star rating. This reflects meaningful long-term improvement from its very low ranking several years ago, although performance has declined from a stronger 2023–2024 result.

Academically, the school’s biggest concern is science. In the latest results, 23% of students were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide and 26% across the district. Mathematics proficiency was 38%, six points below the state, while reading was 48%, seven points below the state. Math has shown encouraging progress, rising from 29% several years ago to its latest four-year high. Reading remains the school’s strongest subject overall, but it recently declined. Grade 7 is a clear bright spot: students matched the state in math and slightly exceeded it in reading. Grades 6 and 8 had lower results in both subjects, and grade 8 science was especially weak. Families may want to ask how the school plans to strengthen science, support grades 6 and 8, and extend successful grade 7 practices across the school.

The school’s special education subgroup has a lower recent statewide standing than the school overall, making targeted student support another area worth monitoring. At the same time, the lower student-teacher ratio could provide useful capacity for intervention, lab work, and one-on-one feedback. There are no other schools within 20 miles listed for a direct nearby-school comparison, so the most useful benchmarks are the school’s own year-to-year results, district figures, and New Hampshire averages. Overall, the school shows real long-term progress and recent math momentum, but families should be aware that science, reading, and some grade-level outcomes remain below state expectations.

Thursday, July 28, 2022

For the money spent per student you'd expect this school wouldn't be ranked near the bottom of all schools in New Hampshire. Low expectations for students, low academics, no accountability, non-livable wage for staff. Incompetent principal who blames the low test scores on kids "not trying". Ha. Now I know why these kids fail to achieve academic success of any kind! Close Quote
