Summary

Atkinson Academy is an exceptional elementary school in Atkinson, New Hampshire, serving 385 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Timberlane Regional School District, Atkinson Academy consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 17 and 91 over the past 10 years.

The school's academic performance is notably strong, with students outperforming the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, Atkinson Academy had a 52% proficiency rate in mathematics, compared to 41% for the district and 42% for the state. The school's reading proficiency is also impressive, with 60% of students proficient or better, compared to 55% for the district and state. Atkinson Academy's science assessment scores are particularly noteworthy, with 38% proficiency, compared to 32% for the district and 38% for the state.

Atkinson Academy's success extends beyond overall academic performance, with the school's female, male, and white student subgroups consistently outperforming state averages. The school's special education students also perform exceptionally well, ranking 6th out of 52 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2017-2018. These strong results may be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 14 over the past three years, as well as its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student population. Compared to nearby schools, such as Danville Elementary School and Pollard Elementary School, both within the Timberlane Regional School District, Atkinson Academy consistently outperforms its peers, making it a standout choice for families in the region.
