Summary

Henry Wilson Memorial School is a public school serving 271 students in grades 4–8 in Farmington, a small New Hampshire community, and is part of the Farmington School District. The school’s 2025–26 ranking places it at the 26th percentile statewide, with a one-star rating. Its current results are below New Hampshire averages in mathematics, reading, and science: 32%, 40%, and 23% of students were proficient, respectively. These results are very close to districtwide rates, suggesting that Henry Wilson reflects a broader district challenge rather than standing apart from the rest of Farmington.

The most important trend is the school’s recent decline after a stronger period. Henry Wilson ranked at the 65th percentile in 2022–23 and the 57th percentile in 2023–24, but fell to the 26th percentile in 2025–26. Eighth grade is the clearest area of concern, with only 25% of students proficient in math and 27% in reading, compared with 40% and 51% statewide. Science also deserves attention: proficiency dropped sharply from 48% in 2024–25 to 23% in 2025–26. Fifth-grade science was particularly weak at 16%. At the same time, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.3, so unusually large classes do not appear to be the primary challenge.

Compared with nearby schools, Henry Wilson occupies a middle-to-lower position. It outperforms Somersworth Middle School, Rochester Middle School, Nute Junior High School, and Pittsfield Middle School in several subjects, but trails Gilford Middle School, Dover Middle School, Barrington Middle School, Kingswood Regional Middle School, and Oyster River Middle School by wide margins. Henry Wilson also serves a higher proportion of students facing economic need than most of those higher-performing schools, an important context when comparing raw test scores.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, September 27, 2016

School is very poor on dealing with bullying. Only chose to discipline certain kids. If 5 kids where to do the same thing only about 2 of them would get disciplined. Teachers can be rude and disrespectful. They say one thing and do the exact opposite. They lie to parents saying they will do something but not even attempt to do what they said they would. Of course this is not all the teachers. I feel like i get bullied by the teachers. I would not want me kids to go here. Close Quote
