Summary:
ZIP code 03055 has one middle school, Milford Middle School, serving about 445 students in grades 6–8 within the Milford community and the Milford School District. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, families are best served by comparing its results with district and New Hampshire averages rather than with another nearby school. The school reports a relatively low 9.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio and a 19.33% free or reduced-price lunch rate, offering useful context about its size and student population.
Academic performance is mixed. Reading is the school’s strongest subject, with 47% of students proficient in 2025–2026, followed by mathematics at 36%; science was much weaker at 19%. Mathematics was slightly above the district rate but 8 percentage points below the state, while reading was 1 point below the district and 8 points below the state. Science showed the largest gap: the school was 9 points below the district and 19 points below New Hampshire. There were encouraging year-over-year gains in mathematics, up from 31% to 36%, and reading, up from 44% to 47%, but science declined from 25% to 19%.
Results vary considerably by grade. Seventh-grade reading was a bright spot, with 54% proficiency, while sixth-grade mathematics reached 42%, nearly matching the state rate. Eighth grade was the clearest area of concern: proficiency was 39% in reading, 33% in mathematics, and 19% in science. The school ranked 96th of 138 schools statewide in 2025–2026, around the 30th percentile, below its 62nd-place, roughly average standing in 2023–2024. Overall, parents may want to pay particular attention to eighth-grade support, seventh-grade mathematics, and science instruction, while recognizing the school’s relative strengths in reading and sixth-grade mathematics.
