Summary

Lin-Wood Public School (Elem) is a small K–5 public school in the mountain community of Lincoln, New Hampshire, serving 101 students through the Lincoln-Woodstock Cooperative School District. Its 6.5:1 student-teacher ratio is among the lowest in the area, which may support small-group instruction and individualized attention. The school’s 2025–2026 statewide standing was near the middle, at the 49th percentile, after a notable recovery from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024.

Lin-Wood’s academic profile is strongest in science. In 2025–2026, 59% of students were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide. Math proficiency was 46%, nearly equal to New Hampshire’s 44%, while reading was 51%, slightly below the state’s 55%. Grade-level results show a particular opportunity in reading: proficiency was 40% in Grade 3 and 47% in Grade 4, but rose to 65% in Grade 5, above the state’s 58%. Math was more consistent but remained below 50% in each tested grade. Science has improved especially quickly, rising from 31% proficiency in 2023–2024 to 59% in 2025–2026.

Compared with nearby schools, Lin-Wood is competitive in science but less strong overall in math and reading. Its results are broadly similar to those of the similarly sized Lisbon Regional School (Elem), though Lin-Wood’s science performance is 12 points higher. The school trails higher-performing Lafayette Regional School and Bethlehem Elementary School in math and reading, but exceeds both in science relative to Bethlehem and comes close to Lafayette. Overall, Lin-Wood appears to be improving, with science as a clear strength and early-grade reading and schoolwide math as the main priorities for continued growth.

What people are saying

by a parent on FaceBook
Saturday, September 8, 2012

My son was a transfer student, due to custody change, and attended for 3 months before I learned they hadn't received his transcripts, which were mailed by his old school the day after custody changed. The reason they never received them: his father falsified his name when he registered my son. The school was made aware of his legal name, with copies made of the Name Change document from Probate Court, 3 weeks after my son started classes at Lin-Wood. None of his teachers, or his Special Ed coorinator made no mention of the missing records during the Fall Open House. No one contacted me to request info or records. I learned of the missing records during an Individualized Education Plan meeting in the first week of December (He began the School Year the day after Labor Day). Close Quote
