Summary:
Profile Senior High School is the only high school in Profile School District, serving grades 9–12 in Bethlehem, New Hampshire, with 133 students. As a small rural-area high school, it offers a low student-teacher ratio and a close-knit setting, while its results should be interpreted with care because a small number of students can significantly affect yearly percentages.
The school’s strongest indicators are student persistence and several measures of academic performance. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 88.2%, slightly above New Hampshire’s 87.0% average, and its reported dropout rate was 0%, compared with 2.3% statewide. In 2025–2026, reading proficiency was 62%, seven points above the state rate, while 11th-grade SAT mathematics proficiency was 38%, eight points above the state. The school also has an 8.8:1 student-teacher ratio, which may support individualized attention. It has maintained a four-star rating across the reported years and currently ranks 38th out of 166 districts, around the 77th percentile.
Academic results are mixed and point to mathematics as the main area needing improvement. All-grade mathematics proficiency was 38%, six points below the state and down eight points from the prior year. Reading also declined eight points, from 70% to 62%, although it remains above the state average. Science improved from 33% to 38%, matching the latest state rate, but remains a subject to watch. Parents should also note that the school’s reported all-grade results trail district figures, while its 11th-grade SAT mathematics and reading results match district results; these comparisons may involve different student groups or testing measures. Overall, the school combines strong graduation and attendance-related outcomes with a small-school environment, solid reading performance, and a need for focused support in mathematics and science.
