Best Public Schools in Zip Code 03251

Summary:

The 03251 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Lincoln-Woodstock Cooperative School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The standout school in this data set is the Lin-Wood Public School (Middle), which has consistently ranked among the top 30% of New Hampshire middle schools and outperforms the district and state averages on state assessments. In contrast, the Lin-Wood Public School (Elem) and Lin-Wood Public School (High) have seen declining performance and rankings in recent years.

The middle school's strong performance is reflected in its 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and its high proficiency rates in mathematics (61%) and reading (67%) across all grades. In contrast, the elementary and high schools have lower proficiency rates and rankings, with the elementary school's statewide ranking dropping from 67th out of 233 in 2021-2022 to 170th out of 234 in 2023-2024. The high school's ranking has also declined, from 17th out of 85 in 2022-2023 to 57th out of 87 in 2023-2024.

The schools in this area also vary in their student demographics, with the middle school having the most diverse student population and the highest percentage of students from low-income families (27.54% free/reduced lunch recipients). The student-teacher ratios are relatively low across all three schools, which could be a positive factor contributing to the middle school's strong performance.
