Summary

Woodsville High School is a public school for grades 9–12 in the small, rural community of Woodsville, New Hampshire, serving 221 students through the Haverhill Cooperative School District. The school offers a relatively favorable 10:1 student-teacher ratio, although that is higher than the ratios at most nearby traditional high schools. Its strongest measures are graduation and student persistence: 98.4% of students graduated in 2024–25, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. The graduation rate was second among the nearby schools with available data, behind the 100% reported by Lin-Wood Public School (High).

Academic results are more concerning. The latest statewide ranking placed Woodsville High School 73rd out of 89 New Hampshire high schools, in the 18th percentile. This was a substantial decline from 37th place in 2022–23 and 47th place in 2024–25. Recent proficiency results were below state averages in every reported subject: 49% in reading and 26% in science in 2025–26, compared with 55% and 38% statewide. Mathematics is the most persistent weakness, with only 22% proficient in 2024–25 versus 42% statewide. Nearby schools generally performed better academically: Profile Senior High School, Littleton High School, and Lisbon Regional School (High) all currently rank higher.

For families, the key distinction is that Woodsville High School appears more successful at keeping students enrolled and helping them graduate than at producing consistently strong standardized-test results. Reading has shown potential—65% proficiency in 2024–25 exceeded the state average—but later results fell, while science also dropped sharply. The school’s size means individual classes or cohorts may cause noticeable year-to-year swings, so families may want to ask about math and science improvement plans, course support, and how recent results compare with classroom performance. Its strong graduation history and prior higher ranking provide a foundation for improvement, but current academic outcomes remain weaker than those of most nearby comparison schools.
