Summary:
The city of Farmington, New Hampshire is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Farmington School District. While the middle school, Henry Wilson Memorial School, consistently performs well above state and district averages, the high school, Farmington Senior High School, has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of New Hampshire high schools.
The elementary school, Valley View Community School, also shows promise, with 3rd-grade mathematics and reading proficiency rates exceeding district and state averages. Both the middle and elementary schools benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. However, the high school's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science consistently fall below the district and state averages.
The demographic composition of the Farmington schools is predominantly white, ranging from 88.72% to 92.05% white students. The percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch varies, with the middle school having the highest rate at 39.37%. These factors, along with the significant disparity in academic performance between the middle/elementary schools and the high school, suggest that the Farmington School District could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve outcomes at the high school level and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
