Summary:
ZIP code 03874 has one listed elementary school, Seabrook Elementary School, serving Pre-K through Grade 4 in the coastal town of Seabrook, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 302 students and is part of the Seabrook School District. With an 11.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio, it appears to offer relatively favorable staffing levels. However, 52.32% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, an important consideration when evaluating the school’s academic results and support needs.
Academic performance is mixed, with reading presenting the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, 23% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 42% in the district and 55% statewide. Reading proficiency was similarly low in Grade 3 and Grade 4, at 22% and 23%, respectively, indicating a broad literacy challenge rather than a problem limited to one grade. Reading performance also fell 17 percentage points from the prior year. Mathematics results were stronger but still below the state average: 36% of students were proficient, compared with 35% in the district and 44% statewide. Grade 4 mathematics was the school’s strongest reported area at 40%, while Grade 3 mathematics was 32%.
Because Seabrook Elementary is the only elementary school listed in the ZIP code, parents cannot compare it with another local elementary school. The school’s results are therefore best understood through district and statewide comparisons. Mathematics generally aligns with district performance, while reading trails the district substantially and falls well below statewide levels. The school’s reported ranking also declined from the 24th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 7th percentile in 2025–2026. Parents may want to ask about literacy interventions, assessment trends, attendance, curriculum, and support for students who need extra help. Overall, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio but would benefit from particular attention to reading achievement and recent performance declines.
