Summary:
Winnacunnet Cooperative School District has one public school, Winnacunnet High School, serving grades 9–12 in Hampton, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 993 students and has a relatively favorable 10.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Because it is the district’s only school, districtwide results are the same as the high school’s results, and there are no other schools in the district for direct comparison.
Winnacunnet High School is performing well overall and has recently improved. It ranked 20th out of 89 New Hampshire schools in 2025–2026, up from 30th the prior year, and received four stars. Reading is the school’s clearest strength: 68% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 55% statewide. Science proficiency was 47%, nine points above the state average. Mathematics improved substantially, rising from 33% to 44% in one year and reaching the state average. SAT results were also stronger than statewide results, with the school exceeding the state by 14 points in math and six points in reading.
Families should also consider completion outcomes. Winnacunnet’s 0.3% dropout rate was far below the 2.3% state rate, which is a particularly positive indicator. However, its 84.6% graduation rate was 2.4 percentage points below the New Hampshire average of 87.0%. This difference suggests that the school may benefit from continued attention to helping every student graduate on time, even though academic results are generally strong. The recent gains in math, reading, and science are encouraging, and the school’s strong ranking, low dropout rate, and favorable staffing ratio make it an appealing option for families seeking a comprehensive public high school in the Hampton area.
