Summary

Inter-Lakes High School is a small public school in Meredith, New Hampshire, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling about 294 students in the Inter-Lakes Cooperative School District. Located in the Lakes Region, the school offers a smaller setting than most nearby comprehensive high schools. Its 2025–26 ranking—23rd out of 89 New Hampshire high schools, placing it in the state’s 74th percentile—makes it one of the stronger traditional public high schools in the area.

The school’s clearest strengths are reading and science. In 2025–26, 67% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide, while science proficiency reached 50%, compared with 38% statewide. Science has improved especially sharply, rising from 22% in 2022–23. Inter-Lakes compares closely with Plymouth Regional High School and Gilford High School, which ranked 21st and 24th, respectively. Reading results at all three schools were about 67–68%, although Plymouth had slightly stronger science results. Inter-Lakes also stands out for its recent 91% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, both favorable compared with New Hampshire overall.

Mathematics is the school’s main academic opportunity. Only 36% of students were proficient on the latest state math assessment, below the 44% state average, and results have gradually declined over several years. Still, Inter-Lakes outperformed or matched several nearby schools, including Kingswood Regional High School, Newfound Regional High School, and Laconia High School, on this measure. The school also ranks especially well for students receiving special education services, placing fifth among the schools included in that comparison. Overall, Inter-Lakes offers strong reading, improving science, solid completion outcomes, and a supportive small-school environment, while math remains the area to watch.
