This school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Judge Sylvania W. Woods Senior Elementary serves a predominantly Hispanic (60.44%) and African American (35.92%) student population, with a very high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients (93.99%). The school's academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.9% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 10.8% in the district and 24.1% statewide.

Despite the school's high spending per student ($16,449) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (13.7), the consistently poor academic outcomes suggest that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. These challenges may be exacerbated by the high poverty levels and lack of diversity within the student population. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for the students of Judge Sylvania W. Woods Senior Elementary.
