Summary:
ZIP code 03452 has one middle school, Conant Middle High School, serving grades 6–8 in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 241 students and is part of the Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District. With a 16:1 student-teacher ratio and a 22.82% free or reduced-price lunch rate, it serves a relatively small middle-school population. Since no other middle schools are listed in the ZIP code, the most useful comparisons are with the district and New Hampshire statewide results.
Conant showed meaningful improvement in 2025–2026. Its statewide ranking rose from 100th of 132 schools to 77th of 138, its reported percentile increased from the 24th to the 44th percentile, and its rating improved from one star to two. Proficiency increased in every subject: mathematics rose from 26% to 36%, reading from 48% to 53%, and science from 19% to 36%. Reading is the school’s strongest area and was only two percentage points below the state overall, while the school exceeded district reading performance by five points. Science was close to both district and state results, although fewer than four in ten students were proficient.
The main concern for parents is eighth-grade mathematics. Only 24% of eighth graders were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 44% in seventh grade. By contrast, sixth-grade reading slightly exceeded the state, and seventh-grade reading matched it, suggesting that literacy performance is comparatively consistent and strong in the earlier grades. Overall, the school’s average proficiency was slightly above the district across mathematics, reading, and science combined, but below the state average. The recent gains are encouraging, particularly in science and mathematics, while continued attention to eighth-grade math will be important for maintaining progress and improving the school’s ranking further.
