Summary:
Elementary school options in the Seacoast Classical Academy Chartered Public School area consist of one small chartered public school in Newton, New Hampshire: Seacoast Classical Academy Chartered Public School, serving kindergarten through Grade 8. The school enrolls 179 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 17.9 to 1. Its reported results cover Grades 3 through 6. The school ranked 143rd out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it in the 38th percentile with a two-star rating.
Academic performance is mixed, with reading the school’s strongest overall subject. Reading proficiency was 54%, nearly matching the New Hampshire rate of 55%. Fifth-grade reading was especially strong at 64%, six points above the state average, while sixth-grade reading was 55%, three points above the state. Mathematics proficiency was 38%, below the statewide 44% rate, but results improved in the upper grades: fifth grade reached 58%, compared with 43% statewide, and sixth grade reached 45%, slightly above the state. By contrast, third- and fourth-grade mathematics and reading results were below state averages, suggesting that earlier tested grades may need additional support.
Science is the clearest area for improvement. Overall science proficiency was 12%, compared with 38% statewide, and fifth-grade science proficiency was 17%, 21 points below the state. For parents, the most encouraging pattern is that students in Grades 5 and 6 performed at or above state averages in reading and mathematics, while the main concerns are science and the weaker results in Grades 3 and 4. About 10% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, representing approximately 18 students, although this figure does not explain academic outcomes by itself. Because the school is small, grade-level percentages may change noticeably from year to year, so families should also ask about multi-year trends, curriculum, student support, and science instruction.
