Summary

Newmarket Elementary School serves 474 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in the coastal-southern New Hampshire community of Newmarket and is part of the Newmarket School District. The school ranks 86th out of 230 New Hampshire schools, placing it in the 63rd percentile statewide, with an 11.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio. It offers a larger enrollment than many nearby elementary schools and serves a somewhat economically diverse student population.

Academically, Newmarket is above the state average overall, with reading as its clearest strength. In 2025–26, 63% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide; results were above the state average in grades 3, 4, and 5. Mathematics proficiency was 50%, also above the 44% state average, although it trailed several nearby schools. For comparison, mathematics proficiency was 62% at Newfields Elementary School, 65% at Greenland Central School, and 71% at Stratham Memorial School. Newmarket performed better than Epping Elementary School, where 31% were proficient in mathematics.

The main concerns are recent declines in mathematics and science. Science proficiency fell from 64% in 2023–24 to 39% in 2025–26, making it the school’s most important area for review. The school’s statewide rank also declined from 43rd to 86th over that period, while reading remained steady. Families may also want to ask about support for students receiving special education services, whose effectiveness ranking dropped to the 26th percentile statewide. Newmarket remains a solid above-average school, but it currently trails high-performing nearby schools such as Moharimet School and Mast Way School, both of which rank among New Hampshire’s strongest elementary schools.
