Summary

Lin-Wood Public School (High) is a small public high school in Lincoln, New Hampshire, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling about 82 students in a mountain-region community. The school is part of the Lincoln-Woodstock Cooperative School District. Its small size and 7.3:1 student-teacher ratio can support close relationships, smaller classes, and individualized attention. Lin-Wood’s strongest recent outcomes are its 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, both better than the New Hampshire averages. However, its latest statewide ranking—78th of 89 high schools, in the 12th percentile—shows that current academic performance is a significant concern.

Recent test results are weakest in mathematics and reading. Only 15% of students met the mathematics standard, compared with 44% statewide, while 38% met the reading standard, compared with 55% statewide. Science was somewhat more competitive at 31%, just 7 points below the state. SAT results showed similar challenges, particularly in reading. These results are also much lower than Lin-Wood’s own 2022–2023 performance, when 55% of students were proficient in math and 82% in reading. Because the school is very small, results can change substantially from year to year, but the decline is large enough to merit attention to curriculum consistency, staffing, assessment preparation, and student support.

Nearby schools provide useful context. Lisbon Regional School (High) has a nearly identical enrollment and an even lower student-teacher ratio, yet currently reports stronger reading and science results and ranks 35th statewide. Plymouth Regional High School and Profile Senior High School rank substantially higher, while Littleton High School and Woodsville High School offer additional comparison points. Overall, Lin-Wood appears particularly effective at helping students remain enrolled and graduate, but it should use its small size and favorable staffing levels to strengthen math, reading, and college-readiness outcomes.
