Summary:
ZIP code 03244 is served by three public schools in the Hillsboro-Deering Cooperative School District, covering prekindergarten through grade 12 and enrolling about 981 students across elementary, middle, and high school.
Hillsboro-Deering High School is the strongest overall performer, ranking 29th of 89 New Hampshire high schools and placing in the 67th percentile. It has 334 students, a low 9.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and particularly strong reading and science results: 60% and 56% proficiency, respectively. Its main challenge is mathematics, where only 19% of students are proficient, well below the state and district averages. The school’s 82.5% graduation rate is also below the statewide rate of 87%, so families may want to consider both its academic strengths and its graduation outcomes.
Hillsboro-Deering Middle School has shown the largest ranking improvement, rising from the 24th to the 56th percentile over three years and earning a three-star rating. Its 229 students perform best in reading, with 58% proficiency, while sixth-grade mathematics is a concern at 32%; seventh- and eighth-grade math results are considerably stronger. Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School, serving 418 students, also improved substantially and is strongest in third grade, where both reading and math reach 61%. However, fifth-grade math falls to 29%, and elementary science is relatively weak at 33%. Across the area, reading is the clearest shared strength, while mathematics—especially at the high school and in selected transition grades—deserves the closest attention.
