context_section_description: Lincoln H. Akerman School (42°54′59″N 70°52′01″W) is a kindergarten through 8th grade elementary school and middle school. The school was constructed in 1949 and named after Lincoln Akerman (1916–1942), a local war hero and member of the prominent New Hampshire Akerman family. Akerman was the first Hampton Falls soldier reported to lose his life in World War II. Another famous Akerman from the area was Amos T. Akerman (1821–1880), United States Attorney General from 1870-1871.
  In 1993, kindergarten was added to the school, though it is not required in the state of New Hampshire.
  In the mid-1990s Dan Brown, future best-selling author of The Da Vinci Code, taught Spanish to the school's 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
  In 2003, Lincoln Akerman was cited in The Hampton Union for, according to the New Hampshire Educational Improvement and Assessment Program (NHEIAP), being notable for having scores that were "significantly above the state average" and climbing. Specific subjects cited were social studies, language arts, and math.
  The current principal is Beth Raucci, who has held that position since 2018.
