Summary:
North Hampton School District has one public school, North Hampton School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in North Hampton, New Hampshire. Because it is the district’s only school, school and district performance are the same, and there are no separate middle or high schools listed.
North Hampton School serves 268 students and reports a low 8.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio. It is a strong academic performer statewide, ranking 13th out of 230 schools and placing in the 94th percentile in 2025–2026. Reading is the school’s most consistent strength: 78% of students were proficient, compared with 55% statewide, and every tested grade exceeded the state result. Mathematics was also well above average overall, with 66% proficiency compared with 44% statewide. Science proficiency was 51%, 13 points above the state average. Families may also value the school’s small size and the continuity of having elementary and middle grades on one campus.
The most important area for parents to investigate is middle-grade mathematics. Results were excellent in third, fifth, and sixth grades, reaching 90%, 80%, and 79% proficiency, respectively, but fell to 47% in seventh grade and 35% in eighth grade. Eighth-grade mathematics was the only tested result below the state average. Reading remained strong through eighth grade, although it declined gradually from 86% in sixth grade to 68% in eighth grade. Science was above average in both fifth and eighth grades, but overall science proficiency dropped sharply from 74% the prior year to 51%; this may reflect differences in cohorts or testing conditions and should be monitored over time. Overall, the school offers strong performance and a favorable learning environment, with later-grade mathematics the clearest opportunity for additional support.
