Summary
Moultonborough Middle Level is a small public school serving 109 students in grades 6–8 in the lakes-region community of Moultonborough, New Hampshire. Part of the Moultonborough School District, the school has recently become one of the stronger-performing middle schools in the area. It ranked 35th out of 138 New Hampshire middle schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 75th percentile and earning four stars. Its student-teacher ratio is a favorable 7.1 to 1, which may provide more opportunities for individual attention than at many nearby schools.
Academic results are a clear strength. Moultonborough students exceeded state proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science, with especially strong results in mathematics and science. Mathematics proficiency was 58%, compared with 44% statewide, and the school led comparable nearby schools, including Gilford Middle School, Kingswood Regional Middle School, Inter-Lakes Middle School, and Laconia Middle School. Science proficiency reached 48%, also the highest among those comparable schools. The school’s recent improvement has been notable: its ranking rose 31 places in one year, while mathematics increased 18 percentage points and science rose 16 points.
Reading performance is solid overall at 56%, but results vary by grade. Seventh- and eighth-grade reading proficiency was 62% and 61%, while sixth grade was 45%, below the state rate and a reasonable focus for early support. Compared with nearby schools, Moultonborough is nearly tied with Gilford in overall ranking, leads Gilford in mathematics and science, but trails it in reading. It also substantially outperforms Inter-Lakes and Laconia in all three subjects. Crescent Lake School reports strong results as well, but serves grades 4–6, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Overall, the school combines small-school advantages, strong recent momentum, and particularly competitive mathematics and science performance.
