Summary

Lin-Wood Public School (Middle) is a small grades 6–8 school in Lincoln, New Hampshire, a mountain community in the White Mountains region, serving 58 students. It is part of the Lincoln-Woodstock Cooperative School District and has an unusually low student-teacher ratio of 6.8:1. The school’s latest statewide ranking was 58th out of 138 New Hampshire middle schools, placing it around the middle-to-upper half of the state. Although this was a decline from rankings of 28th in each of the previous two years, Lin-Wood remains stronger than most nearby schools in the comparison.

Mathematics is Lin-Wood’s clearest current strength. In 2025–2026, 52% of students were proficient in math, eight points above the state average and second among the comparison schools behind Profile Junior High School. Sixth-grade math was especially strong, with 67% proficiency compared with 43% statewide. Reading proficiency was 52%, slightly below the state average, but results varied considerably by grade: sixth- and eighth-grade reading exceeded state comparisons, while seventh-grade reading was 40%, 17 points below the state rate. This seventh-grade result is the school’s most important current academic area to monitor. Compared with Daisy Bronson Junior High School, Lisbon Regional School (Middle), and Haverhill Cooperative Middle School, Lin-Wood had notably stronger math results and generally stronger overall performance.

Lin-Wood also posted a strong 2024–2025 science result: 54% proficiency, compared with 38% statewide, although science performance has fluctuated in recent years. Its small enrollment can make yearly rankings and grade-level percentages change substantially depending on the performance of a relatively small number of students. Profile Junior High School is the clear nearby benchmark, ranking 12th statewide and outperforming Lin-Wood in both math and reading. Overall, Lin-Wood appears to offer small classes, strong access to teachers, and solid academic performance relative to most nearby options, with the greatest opportunities for improvement in seventh-grade reading and in maintaining consistent results from year to year.
