Summary

Newmarket Junior-Senior High (Elem) is a small public middle school serving 225 students in grades 6–8 in the coastal New Hampshire community of Newmarket, within the Newmarket School District. Its 10.4:1 student-teacher ratio may support a more personal school experience, and the school’s 26th-place statewide ranking places it in the 81st percentile among New Hampshire middle schools.

Academically, Newmarket is one of the stronger schools in this comparison group. In 2025–26, 58% of students were proficient in mathematics, 67% in reading, and 53% in science—above state averages in all three subjects. Science is a particular strength: Newmarket ranks second among the nearby schools listed, behind only Oyster River Middle School. Newmarket also outperforms larger schools such as Dover Middle School and Cooperative Middle School in several subjects. It is close to Hampton Academy, which ranks 27th statewide, while Rye Junior High School and Portsmouth Middle School remain somewhat stronger overall.

The school’s recent progress is especially notable. Its ranking improved from 73rd in 2023–24 to 26th in 2025–26, while mathematics proficiency climbed from 36% to 58% and science proficiency from 24% to 53%. Grade-level results are generally above state averages, including especially strong seventh-grade mathematics, sixth-grade reading, and eighth-grade science. Parents may want to ask how the school plans to sustain these gains and improve results for students receiving special education services, whose effectiveness ranking is lower than the school’s other reported groups. Overall, Newmarket appears to be an upward-trending, well-rounded middle school with strong results for its size.
