Northwood School District

Summary:

The Northwood School District in New Hampshire consists of a single school, Northwood Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year, ranking 119 out of 224 New Hampshire elementary schools.

Northwood Elementary School's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in Mathematics, Reading, and Science. However, there are some areas of uneven performance, such as lower 3rd grade proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading compared to the state. The school has a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 14.68%, suggesting its student population may come from higher-income families. Additionally, the school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention to students.

Overall, Northwood School District and its sole school, Northwood Elementary School, are performing reasonably well compared to state averages, but there are some areas, such as early-grade performance and consistent academic achievement, that could benefit from further improvement efforts.
