Summary:
The Seabrook School District has one middle school, Seabrook Middle School, serving grades 5–8 in the Seabrook area of New Hampshire. The school enrolls 277 students and reports a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1. Nearly 45% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves many families who may benefit from additional academic and community support. Since it is the district’s only middle school, there are no other district schools for a direct comparison.
Academic results at Seabrook Middle School are mixed. Reading is the strongest subject, with 50% of students proficient overall, compared with 34% in mathematics and 28% in science. Eighth-grade reading is a particular bright spot: 54% of students were proficient, slightly above the 51% statewide rate. Fifth-grade mathematics was also close to the state average, at 42% compared with 43%. The main concerns are upper-grade mathematics and science. Mathematics proficiency falls from 42% in fifth grade to 29% in eighth grade, while fifth-grade science proficiency is 23%, 15 points below the state average. Overall, the school trails New Hampshire by 10 points in both mathematics and science and by 5 points in reading.
There are some positive recent trends. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, mathematics proficiency rose 3 points and reading rose 4 points, although science declined 2 points. The school’s historical ranking improved from the 29th percentile to the 43rd percentile before declining to the 32nd percentile most recently, suggesting uneven progress. Parents may want to pay particular attention to the school’s plans for upper-grade math, fifth-grade science, and seventh-grade reading, while also asking how successful eighth-grade reading practices are being shared across grades. A separate district summary reports different ranking figures from the school’s historical data, so rankings should be interpreted cautiously.
