Summary

Iber Holmes Gove Middle School serves 413 students in grades 4–8 in Raymond, a southern New Hampshire community, and is part of the Raymond School District. The school has a favorable 11.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and earns a 2-star rating, with a statewide ranking of 82nd out of 138 middle schools, placing it in the 41st percentile.

Academically, Iber is close to statewide averages in mathematics and reading: 41% of students are proficient in math and 53% in reading, compared with 44% and 55% statewide. Science is a relative weakness at 34%, below the state’s 38%, although it is slightly above the district’s 32%. The school’s results vary considerably by grade. Sixth-grade math is a major concern at 26% proficiency, while seventh-grade math reaches 56%. Reading is strongest in fifth and seventh grades, at 66% and 65%, respectively, but eighth grade is weaker across all subjects: 33% in math, 40% in reading, and 29% in science. Overall ranking has also declined from the 67th percentile in 2021–22 to the low-40th percentile range in recent years.

For local context, Iber performs considerably better than Hillside Middle School, Southside Middle School, and Henry J. McLaughlin Junior Middle School, all in Manchester, across math, reading, and science. However, it trails stronger nearby schools such as David R. Cawley Middle School, Newmarket Junior-Senior High (Elem), and Hampstead Middle School. The most important improvement priorities are sixth-grade math, eighth-grade performance in all subjects, science consistency, and support for special education students. Strong fifth- and seventh-grade results show that higher achievement is already possible within the school.
