Summary

Woodman Park School is a public school in Dover, NH, serving 421 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 within the Dover School District. Located in a community with several nearby elementary-school options, it is the largest of Dover’s three elementary schools and has a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio. However, its current academic results are much weaker than the district’s overall performance and than those of most nearby comparison schools.

In the latest results, 36% of students were proficient in math and 38% in reading. Reading is the clearest concern: Woodman Park trails the Dover district by 21 percentage points and the state by 17 points. Its performance has also declined in recent years, with reading proficiency falling from 50% to 38% over three years. The school is currently ranked in the 14th percentile statewide, down from the 38th percentile in 2022–2023. Results are weak in both third and fourth grades, suggesting a schoolwide challenge rather than a problem limited to one grade. Subgroup results are also generally below average, although the data do not explain why performance has changed.

The closest comparisons show substantial differences within Dover. Frances G. Hopkins Elementary School at Horne Street reports 54% math and 52% reading proficiency, while Garrison School reports 53% math and 63% reading. Woodman Park also trails Barrington Elementary School and Rollinsford Grade School, especially in reading. These comparisons should be viewed in context: Woodman Park serves a higher-need student population, with 44.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with 22.1% at Hopkins and 14.5% at Garrison. Even so, the results point to a need for stronger early-literacy instruction, consistent grade-level teaching, and targeted academic support.
