Summary:

The Derry Cooperative School District in New Hampshire serves 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 125 out of 163 school districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Derry Village School and South Range Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the top 80 and top 42 elementary schools in New Hampshire, respectively. Meanwhile, East Derry Memorial Elementary School has also performed well, ranking in the top 114 elementary schools in the state.

Additionally, there is a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools like Grinnell School, which has the highest free/reduced lunch rate, also having the lowest academic achievement.
