Summary

Newfound Memorial Middle School is a public school in Bristol, NH, serving 296 students in grades 6–8 within the Newfound Area School District. The school has a relatively small, community-oriented size and a 11.3:1 student-teacher ratio. Its 2025–2026 ranking—47th of 138 New Hampshire middle schools, or about the 66th percentile—places it among the stronger middle schools in the area, even though its district ranks closer to the state midpoint.

Its 8th-grade science result was also 50%, the highest among the schools reviewed. Reading proficiency was 57%, ahead of most nearby schools, while mathematics proficiency was 48%, four points above the state and district results. The clearest area for improvement is 6th grade: reading proficiency was 48% and math proficiency was 41%, both below statewide grade-level benchmarks. Results improved notably in 7th and 8th grade, suggesting that helping students transition successfully into middle school could be valuable.
