Most schools in SAU 9 saw their state standardized test scores drop substantially in 2021, with Conway School District ranking 122nd of 151 New Hampshire school districts. At school board meetings discussing the scores, Tim Sorgi of Albany asked if the scores reflect what students are learning in math and English and Jerry Dougherty of Jackson noted many colleges no longer require such tests for applicants. While school administrators said they would like see better test results, SAU 9 Superintendent Kevin Richard also said it was only one snapshot and many tools are used to assess students. He said, “Much of what our community has identified as critical to track to mastery cannot effectively be measured by using standardized testing.”
