Seacoast Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Seacoast Charter School District, which is ranked 79 out of 163 districts in New Hampshire and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 299 students, Seacoast Charter School stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 87.96% White, 0.67% African American, 2.34% Hispanic, 5.69% Asian, 0.33% Native American, and 3.01% two or more races.

Academically, Seacoast Charter School's test scores show a mix of performance compared to the state average. In 2023-2024, the school's reading proficiency rates were higher than the state average for all grades, while their math proficiency rates were lower than the state average for most grades. In 2022-2023, the school's reading proficiency rates were again higher than the state average, but their math proficiency rates were mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. This suggests a need to focus on improving math instruction and support for students.

Despite its diverse student population and strong reading performance, Seacoast Charter School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 112 out of 233 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 139 out of 237 in 2022-2023 and 136 out of 234 in 2023-2024. This concerning trend should be investigated and addressed by the school and district. However, the school's socioeconomic diversity, with 11.37% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is a positive aspect that provides educational opportunities to students from various economic backgrounds.
