Summary

Three Rivers School is a small public middle school in Pembroke, New Hampshire, serving 289 students in grades 5–8 and offering a more personal setting than many larger nearby schools. The school ranks 55th among 138 New Hampshire middle schools, placing it at the 60th percentile with a three-star rating. Its 9.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio is relatively favorable, although this measure does not directly indicate class size. The school’s performance is stronger than the overall ranking of the Pembroke School District, which ranks at the 40th statewide percentile.

Reading is Three Rivers School’s clearest academic strength: 61% of students are proficient, compared with 55% statewide. The school exceeds the state reading rate in every tested grade, especially sixth and eighth grade. Science is another positive area, with 42% proficiency versus 38% statewide and 30% in the district. Mathematics is the main area for improvement, at 40% compared with 44% statewide. The biggest concern is sixth-grade math, where proficiency is 31%, followed by 38% in seventh grade; fifth- and eighth-grade results are closer to or above the state rate. Math and science have improved considerably since 2023–24, while reading has risen from 51% to 61%.

Locally, Three Rivers School is a solid middle performer. It is close to Mountain View Middle School in reading and science, outperforms Merrimack Valley Middle School in reading and science, and exceeds Rundlett Middle School across all three subjects. It trails higher-performing Bow Memorial School and David R. Cawley Middle School, mainly in math. It performs substantially better than schools in the Manchester School District. A notable strength is special education effectiveness: the school ranked seventh statewide among 48 schools in 2025–26. Overall, families can expect strong literacy and science results, supportive subgroup performance, and a clear opportunity to strengthen middle-grade math.

Not family friendly, have a hard time being welcomed as an involved parent. Expect oo much maturity, independence and self-reliance from 5th and 6th graders. Close Quote
