Summary:
The Derry Cooperative School District in New Hampshire is home to two middle schools: Gilbert H. Hood Middle School and West Running Brook Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and have similar performance metrics, with neither standing out as a clear top performer in the district.
According to the data, both Gilbert H. Hood Middle School and West Running Brook Middle School are ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools and have a 1-out-of-5-star rating, indicating below-average performance. The schools' test scores in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency are all below the state averages. Gilbert H. Hood Middle School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students, while West Running Brook Middle School has a less diverse student body. Additionally, Gilbert H. Hood Middle School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
The consistent underperformance of both middle schools in the Derry Cooperative School District suggests that there may be systemic issues within the district that require further investigation and intervention. The findings highlight the need for targeted support and resources to address the needs of diverse student populations and socioeconomic disparities, as well as a deeper examination of the district's educational practices and policies to improve academic outcomes for all students.
