Summary:
The Haverhill Cooperative School District has one high school, Woodsville High School, serving grades 9–12 in the Woodsville, New Hampshire, area. The school enrolls 221 students and has a 10:1 student–teacher ratio, creating a relatively small-school setting. About 31% of students—approximately 69—receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves families with a range of economic circumstances.
Woodsville High School’s strongest feature is its ability to keep students in school through graduation. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98.4%, compared with 87.0% statewide, and the reported dropout rate was 0.0%, compared with 2.3% statewide. Academic results are more mixed. The school generally performs at or above the Haverhill Cooperative School District average, but it often trails New Hampshire overall. Reading was a notable strength in 2024–2025, when 65% of students were proficient, exceeding both the district and state. In the latest results, 49% were proficient in reading, 26% in science, and 22% in the previous year’s mathematics assessment.
For families comparing schools in the area, there is no second high school in the Haverhill Cooperative School District, so the main considerations are Woodsville High School’s small size, strong graduation outcomes, and academic improvement needs. Mathematics is the clearest priority: the school’s 22% proficiency rate was 20 percentage points below the state. Science also declined from 37% proficiency in 2024–2025 to 26% in 2025–2026, while 11th-grade SAT reading was 13 points below the state. The school’s ranking also fell to the 18th percentile most recently, so parents may want to ask about math and science supports, tutoring, course offerings, and how the school is responding to recent test-score changes.
