Summary

Kingswood Regional Middle School is a public school serving 345 students in grades 7–8 in Wolfeboro, a Lakes Region community, as part of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District. The school ranks 60th out of 138 New Hampshire middle schools, placing it near the middle of the statewide group. Its recent ranking has been fairly steady, while its longer-term position has improved substantially from the lower third of the state a decade ago.

Academically, Kingswood’s clearest strength is reading. In 2025–26, 58% of students were proficient in reading, three points above the state average, and eighth-grade reading proficiency reached 59%, eight points above the state. Math proficiency was 42% and science proficiency was 37%, both close to state results. The school has made meaningful gains since 2022–23: math rose 8 percentage points, reading 9 points, and science 10 points. Eighth-grade results were stronger than seventh-grade results in both math and reading, suggesting that students tend to finish middle school on a stronger academic footing. The student-teacher ratio has also improved to 9.3, supporting the possibility of smaller instructional groupings.

Compared with nearby schools, Kingswood generally performs ahead of Inter-Lakes Middle School, Laconia Middle School, and several lower-ranked schools, but trails stronger local comparators such as Moultonborough Middle Level, Gilford Middle School, and Belmont Middle School. Its nearby feeder, Crescent Lake School, reports notably higher math and science results, making the transition into middle school worth examining. The most important concern is a sharp one-year decline in the special education subgroup ranking, which warrants closer review. Overall, Kingswood appears stable and improving, with priorities in seventh-grade math, science, and subgroup support.
