Summary:
Stratham School District serves the Stratham, New Hampshire area through one elementary school, Stratham Memorial School, which enrolls about 498 students in prekindergarten through Grade 5. Because it is the district’s only school, there are no school-to-school comparisons within the district, and school and district results are the same.
Stratham Memorial School has a strong academic profile overall. It is currently ranked 31st among 230 schools in its ranking history and holds a four-star rating, placing it in the 87th percentile. In 2025–2026, 71% of students were proficient in mathematics and 74% in reading, compared with 44% and 55% statewide. Students outperformed state averages in every reported tested grade. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 85% proficiency in math and 78% in reading. The school also reports a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, although this should not be assumed to represent average class size.
For parents, the main area to watch is science. Fifth-grade science proficiency was 37%, nearly equal to the New Hampshire rate of 38%, but considerably below the school’s math and reading results. Science also declined from 45% the previous year, while reading improved from 69% to 74% and math decreased modestly from 75% to 71%. The school’s reported free or reduced-price lunch rate is 4.02%, a contextual measure that may help families understand the student population but does not by itself determine school quality. Overall, Stratham Memorial School appears to offer strong elementary academics, with science as the clearest opportunity for improvement.
