Summary:
The Lincoln-Woodstock Cooperative School District has one elementary school, Lin-Wood Public School (Elem), serving kindergarten through Grade 5 in Lincoln, New Hampshire, a small community in the White Mountains area. The school enrolls 101 students and offers a small-school setting with a reported student-teacher ratio of 6.5-to-1. Because it is the district’s only elementary school, there are no other local elementary schools in the supplied data for direct comparison.
The school’s strongest academic area is science. In 2025–2026, 59% of students were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide. Fifth-grade science was also 59%, making it one of the school’s clearest strengths. Fifth-grade reading was another standout result, with 65% proficiency—7 points above the state average. Reading performance improved notably overall, rising from 44% in 2024–2025 to 51% in 2025–2026. The school’s statewide ranking also improved over three years, moving from the 27th percentile to the 49th percentile and from a one-star to a two-star rating.
Parents should also be aware of areas where additional academic support may be useful. Mathematics improved to 46% proficiency overall, slightly above the state’s 44%, but each tested grade remained below its state comparison: 47% in Grade 3, 50% in Grade 4, and 41% in Grade 5. Reading is the greatest concern in Grade 3, where proficiency was 40%, 11 points below the state, although results rose to 65% by Grade 5. Overall, the school appears to be improving, with especially strong science and fifth-grade reading outcomes. Its small enrollment means that a few students can significantly affect yearly percentages, so families may want to consider both the positive trend and the variation between subjects and grades.
