Summary:
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy School District has one school, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, serving students in grades 9–12 in Northwood, New Hampshire. The high school enrolls about 654 students and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1. Since it is the district’s only school, district and school results are the same, and there are no other schools in the area district for direct comparison.
For parents, the school’s strongest features are its graduation and academic outcomes. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98.8%, well above New Hampshire’s 87.0%, while the dropout rate was just 0.5%, compared with 2.3% statewide. Reading and science are particularly strong: in 2025–2026, 79% of students were proficient in reading and 68% in science, compared with 55% and 38% statewide. Reading performance has remained consistently high, and science improved from 65% to 68% over the two years reported. SAT results also exceeded state averages in both reading and mathematics.
Mathematics is the main area parents may want to monitor. NH SAS math proficiency was 41% in 2025–2026, slightly below the 44% state rate and down from 43% the previous year. However, the school’s SAT math proficiency was 41%, compared with 30% statewide, so the measures present a mixed picture. Overall, the school ranked 12th among 89 schools in 2025–2026 and has remained highly ranked over three years, placing between 8th and 12th. Its combination of very high completion rates, strong reading and science performance, low student-teacher ratio, and consistently high rankings makes it a strong option for families seeking a comprehensive high school in the Northwood area.
