Summary:
The Lincoln-Woodstock Cooperative School District is a small New Hampshire district serving about 241 students in three public schools covering kindergarten through 12th grade: elementary, middle, and high school.
Lin-Wood Public School (Middle) is the strongest overall performer, ranking 58th of 138 schools and earning three stars in 2025–2026. Its mathematics proficiency was 52%, above both the district and state averages, while reading proficiency was 52%, close to the statewide result. Sixth grade was especially strong, with 67% of students proficient in mathematics. However, seventh-grade mathematics and reading were both 40%, suggesting an area for additional support. Lin-Wood Public School (Elem) has shown the clearest improvement, rising from the 27th to approximately the 49th percentile over three years. Its mathematics and reading results are near district averages, and its 59% science proficiency is an exceptional strength, well above state and district levels.
Lin-Wood Public School (High) has the district’s most contrasting results. It reports an outstanding 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, but its academic proficiency is substantially lower: 15% in mathematics, 38% in reading, and 31% in science. Its SAT results are also below statewide levels, and the school ranks in the 12th percentile. For families comparing schools, the district offers small enrollments and very low student-teacher ratios—about 6.5 to 7.3 students per teacher—which may support individualized attention. The main district priorities are strengthening high school mathematics and reading, understanding the gap between graduation and test performance, addressing seventh-grade weaknesses, and continuing the elementary school’s positive progress.
