Summary:

Henry Wilson Memorial School is a public middle school located in Farmington, New Hampshire, serving grades 4-8 with a student population of 287 and is part of the Farmington School District, which is ranked 117 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.94%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, its overall performance has been consistently below average. Over the past 10 years, Henry Wilson Memorial School has ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools, with a ranking as low as 119 out of 128 schools in 2018-2019. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics (47%), reading (51%), and science (43%) are all lower than the state averages. However, the school has performed relatively well in serving its special education students, ranking 19 out of 52 New Hampshire middle schools in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Oyster River Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top 10 middle schools in the state, Henry Wilson Memorial School generally performs worse on state assessments and has a lower school ranking. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Henry Wilson Memorial School, ranging from 35.23% to 39.37%, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted support programs to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote School is very poor on dealing with bullying. Only chose to discipline certain kids. If 5 kids where to do the same thing only about 2 of them would get disciplined. Teachers can be rude and disrespectful. They say one thing and do the exact opposite. They lie to parents saying they will do something but not even attempt to do what they said they would. Of course this is not all the teachers. I feel like i get bullied by the teachers. I would not want me kids to go here. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
