Summary

Winnisquam Regional Middle School is a public middle school located in Tilton, New Hampshire, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Winnisquam Regional School District, which is ranked 112 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winnisquam Regional Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools, performing below the state average in mathematics, reading, and science across all grade levels. Compared to nearby schools like Maple Street Elementary, Hopkinton Middle School, and Gilford Middle School, Winnisquam's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's female, male, and white students all perform below average compared to their peers in the state, while its special education students perform relatively better, ranking in the top half of New Hampshire middle schools for this subgroup.

Winnisquam has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.25% to 37.23% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools. This suggests the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its overall lower academic performance. However, the school's relatively strong performance for special education students indicates there may be opportunities to learn from and apply successful strategies used for this subgroup to improve outcomes for the broader student population.
