Summary:
The Woodland School District in Washington state is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Among these schools, Yale Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
Yale Elementary's small size of just 54 students may contribute to its strong academic performance and personalized learning environment. The school has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 799th out of 1,097 schools in 2011-2012 to 384th out of 1,169 schools in 2022-2023. In contrast, Columbia Elementary has faced declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 972nd out of 1,169 schools in 2021-2022 to 919th out of 1,168 schools in 2023-2024.
The schools in the Woodland School District also vary in their student demographics and economic status, with Columbia Elementary serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students at 53.5% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 35.73% at North Fork Elementary and 50% at Yale Elementary. These factors may play a role in the observed differences in academic performance across the district.
