Summary:
Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, has one listed public school, Lincoln Akerman School, serving approximately 190 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade in the Hampton Falls School District. Because it is the only public school in the community, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; Lincoln Akerman effectively serves as the area’s elementary and middle-school option.
Lincoln Akerman is a small school with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1. Parents can expect generally strong academic performance, with 61% of students proficient in mathematics, 72% in reading, and 63% in science during 2025–2026. Those results were well above New Hampshire averages of 44%, 55%, and 38%, respectively. The school ranked 66th out of 230 schools statewide, placing it in the 71st percentile, and received a four-star rating. The district ranked even higher, 31st out of 166 districts, or the 81st percentile.
The school’s greatest strengths appear in the upper grades. Eighth-grade students posted especially strong results: 74% were proficient in mathematics, 90% in reading, and 85% in science. Seventh-grade reading was also excellent at 88%, while sixth-grade reading reached 79%. Performance is more mixed in the earlier grades: third-grade mathematics was slightly below the state average, fourth-grade reading was five points below it, and fifth-grade science was only modestly higher than the state. The school’s ranking has declined from the 86th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 71st percentile in 2025–2026, although scores changed only slightly overall and science improved. For families, the main takeaway is a strong small-school environment with particularly impressive middle-grade results and some opportunities to strengthen early-grade mathematics, reading, and science.
