Summary

Weare Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 4-8 in the Weare School District in Weare, New Hampshire, with 477 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Weare Middle School's academic performance lags behind the state average, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science on the NH SAS assessments falling well below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall proficiency rate in Math was 33% compared to the state average of 42%, and in Reading it was 38% compared to the state average of 55%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New Hampshire middle schools for both female and male students in Math and Reading, as well as for White students.

However, Weare Middle School stands out as a relative bright spot for its special education students, ranking in the top half of New Hampshire middle schools in recent years. In 2024-2025, the school's special education students ranked 22nd out of 51 middle schools in the state. In comparison, Bow Memorial School, just 10 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 25% of New Hampshire middle schools and outperforms Weare Middle School across all subject areas. The school's declining trend, with its statewide ranking dropping from 77th out of 131 middle schools in 2012-2013 to 99th out of 132 in 2024-2025, suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
