Summary:
ZIP code 03582 has one middle school, Groveton High School (Middle), serving grades 6–8 in the Northumberland School District. The school is small, with 79 students and an 11.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which may support closer relationships and individualized attention. Its free- or reduced-price lunch rate is 43.04%, providing important context about the community it serves. Since there is only one middle school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare nearby schools directly and should focus on the school’s grade-level results, trends, and fit for their child.
Groveton’s strongest results are in reading, particularly 7th grade. Overall, 47% of students were proficient in reading, while 7th-grade reading proficiency reached 61%, above the statewide rate of 57%. Seventh-grade mathematics was also a bright spot, with 48% proficiency compared with 44% statewide. However, the school’s overall results remain below state averages in mathematics, reading, and science. Mathematics proficiency was 32% versus 44% statewide, reading was 47% versus 55%, and science was 13% versus 38%. Eighth grade is the clearest area of concern: proficiency was 21% in mathematics, 33% in reading, and 13% in science.
Recent trends are mixed but show some positive movement. Mathematics improved from 28% to 32% and reading rose from 44% to 47% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Science, however, declined from 23% to 13%, making it the school’s highest-priority academic challenge. The school’s ranking also improved, moving from the 11th percentile to the 29th percentile over three years, with its rating increasing from one star to two. Parents may want to ask about plans for 8th-grade support, science instruction, student readiness for high school, and how the school is building on the stronger 7th-grade results. Because enrollment is small, yearly percentages can change substantially with relatively few students.
