Summary:
The Seacoast Classical Academy Chartered Public School area includes one public charter school, Seacoast Classical Academy Chartered Public School, serving students from kindergarten through Grade 8 in Newton, New Hampshire. The school has 179 students, a 17.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and about 10% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. It is a small K–8 school operated by the Seacoast Classical Academy Chartered Public School district, rather than a traditional elementary-only campus.
Academic performance is mixed across subjects and grades. Reading is the school’s strongest overall area, with 54% of students proficient compared with 55% statewide. Grade 5 reading is particularly strong at 64%, and Grade 6 reading is 55%. Mathematics is 38% proficient overall, below the state’s 44%, but results improve notably in the upper grades: Grade 3 is 33% and Grade 4 is 39%, while Grade 5 reaches 58% and Grade 6 reaches 45%. Grade 5 math is 15 points above the state rate, making it the school’s strongest academic comparison.
Science is the clearest area of concern. Only 12% of students are proficient overall, compared with 38% statewide, and Grade 5 science is 17% compared with 38% statewide. Parents should therefore view the school as having near-state reading performance, uneven mathematics results, and a substantial need for stronger science outcomes. The school ranks 117th of 166 schools, in the 30th percentile, with a 2-star rating. Because the ranking history uses a different comparison group of 230 schools, changes in rank should be interpreted cautiously. Its small enrollment also means individual student cohorts can cause noticeable year-to-year changes in percentages.
