Summary

Woodside Elementary is a top-ranked public K-8 school in Woodside, CA, serving 385 students within the exceptionally high-performing Woodside Elementary district.

The school consistently delivers outstanding academic results, with 87% of students proficient in English and 83% in Math, far exceeding state averages. This excellence is supported by significant resources, including a very low student-teacher ratio of about 12-to-1 and high per-student spending. While other local schools like Oak Knoll Elementary and Las Lomitas Elementary also achieve top-tier scores, Woodside's performance is notable for being sustained across all grades from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Woodside maintains a strong culture of attendance and serves all its student subgroups effectively. The school's performance stands in contrast to some neighboring schools in other districts, such as Roosevelt Elementary or Henry Ford Elementary, which face different challenges. Parents can expect a consistently elite, well-resourced educational environment focused on comprehensive academic achievement.
