Coastal Waters Chartered Public School

Coastal Waters Chartered Public School, located at 2 Holland Way in Exeter, New Hampshire, was an independent charter district situated in a fringe town environment within the broader Boston-Cambridge-Newton metropolitan area. Established as an autonomous charter entity operating outside standard local educational agency structures for federal programs, the district was structured to deliver a comprehensive K–12 educational pathway serving students from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. However, national education administrative data for the 2024–2025 academic year reflects that the district is now closed, maintaining no active operational schools or facilities within its jurisdiction.

Prior to its closure, the district maintained a highly personalized learning environment, serving a total enrollment of 128 students across its elementary, middle, and high school grade spans. The student body was balanced between 62 female and 66 male learners, with grade sizes reflecting an intimate academic setting—ranging from a peak of 20 students in the third grade down to single-digit cohorts in the high school years. Demographically, the student body included 124 White students, two Hispanic students, and two students identifying with two or more races. For researchers, former families, and community members analyzing local public education dynamics, Coastal Waters Chartered Public School represents a small-scale charter model that once offered an alternative educational setting in coastal New Hampshire.
