Summary

Hampton Academy is a public middle school in Hampton, NH, serving 313 students in grades 6–8 within the Hampton School District, a coastal Seacoast-area community. It is a strong school statewide, ranking 27th of 138 New Hampshire middle schools and placing in the 80th percentile, with a four-star rating and an unusually favorable 8:1 student-teacher ratio. The school offers a relatively small-school environment and is part of a district ranked 29th of 166 statewide.

Academic results are comfortably above New Hampshire averages in every tested subject: 61% of students are proficient in math, 67% in reading, and 46% in science. Hampton’s math result is 17 percentage points above the state average, while reading is 12 points higher and science is 8 points higher. The school also exceeds the average results of the nearby comparison group, particularly in math. Its strongest grade-level pattern is seventh-grade reading, where proficiency reaches 77%. Parents should note two areas to watch: eighth-grade math falls to 48%, compared with 66% in sixth grade and 67% in seventh grade, while eighth-grade reading is 56%. Science has also declined from 59% in 2023–24 to 46% most recently, although it remains above the state average.

Hampton Academy is best viewed as an upper-tier local option rather than the area’s top academic performer. Oyster River Middle School, Portsmouth Middle School, and Rye Junior High School rank higher overall and generally post stronger math and reading results. Hampton is competitive with Newmarket Junior-Senior High and Cooperative Middle School, and performs ahead of most other nearby schools, including Dover Middle School and Seabrook Middle School. Overall, its combination of strong results, small classes, and solid performance across student groups makes it an attractive choice, with eighth-grade achievement and science the main areas to monitor.
