Summary:
ZIP code 03301 in Concord, New Hampshire, has one middle school serving grades 6–8: Rundlett Middle School. The school enrolls about 767 students and serves a diverse Concord-area community, with 33.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its student-teacher ratio is 11.1:1, which may provide useful opportunities for smaller instructional groups and targeted academic support.
Rundlett Middle School is a mid-performing school whose results generally track those of the Concord School District. In 2025–26, 53% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 38% in mathematics and 36% in science. Reading is the clearest strength: eighth-grade reading proficiency was 54%, three points above the state average, while sixth grade matched the state. Mathematics is the largest concern, particularly in seventh grade, where proficiency was 37%, seven points below the state. Eighth-grade math was stronger, trailing the state by only one point. Science results were also low overall, although eighth-grade science matched the district and was just one point below the state.
Parents should also consider the recent downward trend. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, proficiency declined by three points in mathematics, two points in reading, and six points in science. The science decrease is especially notable because the school moved from outperforming district and state results to trailing them. Rundlett’s ranking has fluctuated, reaching the 53rd percentile in 2024–25 before falling to the 46th percentile in 2025–26. Overall, the school may be a reasonable fit for families seeking a relatively strong literacy program, but parents should ask about math intervention—especially for seventh graders—science support, and how the school is responding to recent achievement declines.
