ZIP code 03785 has one high school, Woodsville High School, serving grades 9–12 in the small Woodsville area; the school enrolls 221 students and is part of the Haverhill Cooperative School District.
Woodsville High School has particularly strong completion outcomes. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98.4%, well above New Hampshire’s 87.0% rate, and its reported dropout rate was 0.0%. The school also has a favorable 10:1 student-teacher ratio, which may support more individualized attention. Academic results are more mixed.

Mathematics proficiency was 22% in 2024–2025, 20 percentage points below the state, while 2025–2026 science proficiency was 26%, 12 points below New Hampshire. Reading fell to 49% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 55%, although it remained above the district’s 39%. The school generally performs better than its district, but its statewide ranking declined from the 45th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 18th percentile in 2025–2026. Families should view Woodsville as a school with excellent graduation and retention results, but one that may need additional academic support in mathematics, science, and consistent reading achievement.
