Research Reading Memorial High School public Schools in Concord, New Hampshire

“Reading is a great school for the independent functioning autonomous teen. The average to below average student and the student 'at risk' fall through the cracks miserably. That's a sad testimony. Where is the No Child Left Behind Act in this town?”

“decent school but extremely limiting in offering advanced (or even somewhat advanced) material. recent attempts to add AP classes are well intentioned but not done in a way that it will actually be practical for the kid to take many of them... ie. all must be done senior year... similarly, has not updated its courses to include any decent buisness electives, and has zero tech/web courses.”

“My children have been very well prepared for the colleges they are attending. I feel RMHS is superior to surrounding towns”

“Wonderful school if your child is on the fast track or has special needs but lacking in support for the average student”

“I am a sophomore at this school. I feel like I am receiving an overall very demanding experience, especially considering Reading's involvement in National History Day. I have never had any serious problems with teachers, and the great ones make up for the not so great ones. a few teachers are really outstanding. and I am generally very satisfied. my courses are just as challenging as those offered at the private schools nearby, and I am getting the advantages of a public school education: no tuition and less competition.”

“I have found RMHS to be an excellent school. Two of my children have been educated there and both had great experiences, were challenged by the curriculum and had great teachers.”

“All in all, RMHS is a pretty good school and I have very few complaints about the education my children have received there. I do, however, feel the English department is lacking. The majority of the teachers are simply adequate while one or two are downright dangerous. There is no AP English course offered at RMHS putting students who want to be English majors in college at a distinct disadvantage. This also impacts students who are gifted in this area by not challenging them.”

“RMHS sets high expectations for its students. Outstanding extracurricular programs include track, football, soccer, lacrosse, band, and drama. Expect to pay participation fees for sports and other activities. Parent volunteer support is encouraged. RMHS sends as many graduates to major universities as do most private schools, and RMHS students are often mistaken for private school students due to dress, behavior, and interests. My three kids were well prepared for college due to the demanding and thorough academic program.”
