2019 Best Public Middle Schools in New HampshireAbout this List

Academy for Science & Design Middle School

• Public School
• Nashua, NH
• 6-8
• 1

Alum: Overall, great experience. Came expecting nothing, to be alone and quiet, and was totally blown away. Found a group who (out of those that didn't leave) stayed my friends through high school. Very cliquey, however, people are really nice if you just talk to them. Lots of clubs/afterschool activities, not much for cafeteria food. When I was in middle school, there were a lot of new teachers that didn't know what they were doing, but that has gotten better. Very few sports.

Frances C. Richmond School

• SAU 70, NH
• 6-8
• 2

Middle School Student: Most of the teachers here are very good and know what they are doing. Although the 6th graders from Hanover come to the school one year earlier than the Norwich kids, the school does a very good job of making sure the kids bond by the end of the year. By graduation, it's hard to tell who's from where.

Amherst Middle School

• Amherst School District, NH
• 5-8
• 12

Niche User: Amherst is a highly educated town. The community is brimming with successful professionals and business owners. That fact alone tells you about how much parents in this town want their kids to succeed in school. But there isn't as much keeping up with the Jones' like there is in towns like Hollis and Bedford. So students aren't judged for socio-economic reasons as much as you would think moving here from another state like we did. Of note, it says Nationally Recognized School of Excellence outside the school. From what I understand, AMS is one of just a few school nationally to be recognize three times as a national Blue Ribbon school.
