Summary:
Bethlehem, New Hampshire, has three public schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Bethlehem Elementary School, Profile Junior High School, and Profile Senior High School. Together, they enroll 358 students in a small-school setting, with favorable student-teacher ratios ranging from 8.8 to 10.9 students per teacher. The schools are part of two well-ranked districts: the Bethlehem School District ranks 22nd of 166 statewide, while the Profile School District ranks 38th.
Profile Junior High School is the strongest overall performer by current ranking, placing 12th among 138 New Hampshire middle schools and earning five stars. It exceeds state averages in mathematics, reading, and science, with especially strong reading performance: 75% of students are proficient overall, including 85% in seventh grade. Bethlehem Elementary School also stands out, particularly in mathematics, where 74% of students are proficient compared with 44% statewide. Its fourth-grade mathematics result reaches 92%, and overall math proficiency rose 20 points in one year. Reading is the most consistently strong subject across all three schools, with every school exceeding the state average.
Profile Senior High School has respectable outcomes, including an 88.2% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, but its academic results trail the other two schools. Mathematics proficiency is 38%, below both the state and the Profile School District average, while reading and science also fall below district results. For families comparing schools, the overall picture is a strong elementary and middle-school pathway, with the transition into high school representing the main area for improvement. Because enrollment is small, annual percentages can change noticeably when only a few students’ results differ.
