Summary

Peter Woodbury School is a public elementary school in Bedford, New Hampshire, serving 428 students in kindergarten through fourth grade as part of the highly regarded Bedford School District. Located in a strong-performing suburban area near Manchester and Merrimack, the school ranks among New Hampshire’s best elementary schools, earning a five-star rating and ranking sixth out of 230 schools statewide for 2025–2026.

The school’s clearest academic strength is mathematics: 87% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 75% across the Bedford district and 44% statewide. Reading performance was also strong at 79%, well above New Hampshire’s 55%, although it dipped slightly from 82% the previous year and was one point below the district average. Memorial School, the closest same-district comparison, ranked 17th statewide, compared with Peter Woodbury’s sixth-place ranking. Peter Woodbury also exceeded Memorial in all-grade math by 8 percentage points and reading by 7 points, as well as in every reported third- and fourth-grade subject comparison.

Peter Woodbury’s results are especially impressive when compared with nearby schools in other districts. It ranked 69 places higher statewide than Reeds Ferry School and led that school by 29 points in math and 21 points in reading. The differences were even larger compared with nearby Manchester schools such as Gossler Park School, Parker-Varney School, and Bakersville School. The school has also performed strongly across gender groups and among students receiving special education services. Parents may want to monitor third-grade reading and the recent overall reading decline, but the broader picture is one of sustained, high-level performance.
