Summary:
The city of Woodsville, New Hampshire is home to two schools: Woodsville High School and Woodsville Elementary School. Both schools are part of the Haverhill Cooperative School District, which is ranked 134 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.
While both schools face district-level challenges, Woodsville Elementary School stands out as the stronger performer. The elementary school has significantly higher proficiency rates in math (49%) and reading (50%) compared to the district and state averages, as well as stronger 3rd-grade performance. In contrast, Woodsville High School has lower proficiency rates than the district and state in both subjects. The difference in free/reduced lunch rates, with the elementary school serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, may be a contributing factor to the performance gap.
The data suggests that early intervention and a solid foundation in the early grades are crucial for academic success. The stronger performance of Woodsville Elementary School's 3rd-grade students highlights the importance of this, and could have implications for the high school's future performance if these students are able to maintain their academic progress. Addressing the broader systemic issues within the Haverhill Cooperative School District will also be crucial for improving outcomes at both the elementary and high school levels.
