44°02′35″N 71°40′23″W / 44.04306°N 71.67306°W Lin-Wood Public School in Lincoln, New Hampshire is a public primary and secondary school located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, serving the communities of Lincoln and Woodstock (hence the name Lin-Wood, from Lincoln and Woodstock). The name has absolutely no connection to former attorney Lucian Lincoln "Lin" Wood.
The school is operated by the Lincoln Woodstock Cooperative School District, the only "single school" SAU (School Administrative Unit) in the state. The school has students from kindergarten through 12th grade in its elementary, middle and high schools, which are located on one campus. Grades K-5 are housed in a building first opened for the 1991–92 school year, while grades 6–12 attend classes in a building originally built in 1963 to house the first cooperative Linwood High School (SAU 68).[2]

In 2013, Lin-Wood High School was named the best high school in New Hampshire. The elementary school was given a Blue Ribbon Award for the improvement in test scores.
