Summary

Seabrook Middle School is a public school serving 277 students in Grades 5–8 in the coastal community of Seabrook, New Hampshire, as part of the Seabrook School District. The school’s latest statewide ranking is 94th of 138 schools, placing it around the 32nd percentile with a two-star rating. Its performance is below the New Hampshire average overall, although the school has improved considerably from its 10th-percentile ranking in 2022–2023.

Reading is Seabrook’s strongest subject: 50% of students met the state standard in 2025–2026, compared with 34% in math and 28% in science. Reading proficiency has risen steadily, and Grade 8 reading reached 54%, slightly above the statewide rate. Math has also improved over time, but results remain below the state average in Grades 6–8; science is the weakest and least improved subject. Compared with nearby schools, Seabrook generally posts lower results. For example, Hampton Academy reported 61% math proficiency, Rye Junior High School reported 73%, and Portsmouth Middle School reported 62%, compared with Seabrook’s 34%. Seabrook is closer to Epping Middle School and Timberlane Regional Middle School in overall performance.

There are encouraging signs for families to watch: the school has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.2, and its long-term gains in reading and math suggest that improvement is possible. However, recent progress has been uneven, with science declining slightly and the male-student and special-education subgroup results worsening in the latest year. The special-education effectiveness ranking—47th of 48 schools statewide—is a particularly important area for school leaders to address. Seabrook also serves a higher share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch than nearby comparison schools, providing important context when comparing results, but the academic gaps remain substantial. Key priorities include strengthening math and science instruction, supporting the transition from Grade 5 to Grade 6, and improving services and progress monitoring for students with disabilities.
