Summary

Kearsarge Regional Middle School in North Sutton, New Hampshire, is a public school serving about 410 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Kearsarge Regional School District. Located in a mostly rural area, the school has a favorable 10.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio and a relatively low free- and reduced-price lunch rate of 12.68%. Its latest ranking places it 52nd out of 138 New Hampshire middle schools, or about the 62nd percentile, making it a solidly above-average school. The district ranks slightly higher, at the 65th percentile.

Academic results show reading as the school’s clearest strength. Sixty percent of students reached reading proficiency, including results above the state average in all three grades. Mathematics proficiency was 48%, also above the state average, and math performance has improved steadily from 34% in 2022–2023 to 48% currently. Compared with nearby schools, Kearsarge generally performs better than Merrimack Valley Middle School, Hillsboro-Deering Middle School, Winnisquam Regional Middle School, Newport Middle School, and Franklin Middle School in several subjects. However, it trails smaller, higher-performing schools such as Hopkinton Middle School and Sunapee Middle High School.

Science is the main area needing improvement: only 31% of students reached proficiency, below both the statewide result of 38% and the district result of 42%. Science performance has remained in the low-to-mid 30% range for several years, unlike the school’s recent math gains. Parents may also want to ask about support for students receiving special education services, whose latest subgroup result was much weaker and more variable than the school overall. Still, the broader trend is encouraging: the school has recovered from the 42nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the low 60s in the most recent years. Overall, Kearsarge offers above-average reading and improving math, with science and consistent support for all learners as its most important opportunities.
