Summary

Atkinson Academy is a PK–5 elementary school in Atkinson, New Hampshire, serving 364 students in the Timberlane Regional School District, a suburban community near the Massachusetts border. The school ranks 62nd out of 230 New Hampshire elementary schools, placing it in the 73rd percentile and earning a four-star rating. Its statewide standing is notably higher than the district’s overall 39th-percentile ranking, making it one of the district’s strongest schools.

Recent academic results are encouraging. In 2025–26, 61% of students were proficient in math, 62% in reading, and 40% in science—above both state and district averages in all three subjects. Math is a particular strength in grades 4 and 5, while fifth-grade reading stands out at 74% proficiency, 16 points above the state. Compared with nearby Danville Elementary School, Atkinson performed better in math and reading, and it substantially outperformed Pollard Elementary School in every reported subject. It is also competitive with William E. Lancaster School and Hampstead Central School.

The school’s closest high-performing benchmarks are North Salem Elementary School and Memorial School, which rank higher overall and have stronger math results; however, Atkinson is nearly equal to both in reading. Its ranking improved sharply from 91st to 62nd after a weaker 2024–25 year, though it has not yet returned to its earlier top-tier results. Science is solid but less distinctive, and the school should continue monitoring the sizable difference between its male- and female-student subgroup rankings. With a 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio and a relatively low reported free/reduced-price lunch rate of 5.22%, Atkinson combines strong outcomes with a moderate class-size profile.
