Summary:
ZIP code 03222 has one middle school, Newfound Memorial Middle School, serving students in grades 6–8 in Bristol, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 296 students and reports an 11.3:1 student-teacher ratio, offering a relatively small instructional setting. It is part of the Newfound Area School District, so families in this ZIP code do not have multiple local middle schools to compare.
Academically, Newfound Memorial performed above both district and state averages in all three reported subjects during 2025–2026. Proficiency was 48% in mathematics, 57% in reading, and 50% in science. Science was the school’s clearest strength: its result was 12 percentage points above the state average and improved 10 points from the prior year. Mathematics also improved by 5 points, while reading remained the strongest overall subject despite a smaller one-point increase. Grade-level results show that 7th- and 8th-grade students generally performed better than 6th graders. In reading, 61% of students were proficient in both 7th and 8th grade, compared with 48% in 6th grade. In mathematics, 7th grade reached 52% and 8th grade 50%, while 6th grade was 41%, slightly below the state average.
For parents, the main takeaway is that Newfound Memorial appears to be an above-average school statewide, with especially strong upper-grade reading and mathematics results and notable science performance. The school’s ranking was 47th out of 138 schools in 2025–2026, placing it around the top third statewide, and its ranking has remained relatively stable over the past three years. The most important area to investigate is the transition into 6th grade, where both reading and mathematics results lag behind the upper grades. Families may want to ask about sixth-grade support, curriculum transitions, and strategies for helping students adjust to middle school.
