Summary

Farmington Senior High School is a public high school in Farmington, New Hampshire, serving 232 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Farmington School District, which is ranked 103 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Farmington Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Hampshire high schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking as low as 84 out of 84 schools in the 2020-2021 school year. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating very poor performance. Proficiency rates in key subjects like mathematics, reading, and science lag significantly behind state and district averages, with only 10% of students proficient or better in mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 42%. The school also has higher-than-average dropout rates, ranging from 1.7% to 4.3% in recent years.

In comparison, nearby high-performing schools like Oyster River High School, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, and Kingswood Regional High School consistently rank in the top 50 high schools in the state and have much higher proficiency rates and graduation rates. While Farmington Senior High School's special education students perform exceptionally well, the school's overall low academic performance, high poverty levels, and high dropout rates suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and improve outcomes for all students.
