Summary

Woodland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Joliet, Illinois, serving 391 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Joliet PSD 86 district, which is ranked 755 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodland Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.2% of Woodland students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% statewide and 29.9% in the Joliet PSD 86 district. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 29.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. When comparing Woodland to other nearby schools within the Joliet PSD 86 district, it is evident that Woodland is one of the lower-performing schools, with Eisenhower Academy, located just 1.47 miles away, consistently ranking among the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming Woodland across all academic measures.

Despite the school's low performance, Woodland Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student, with a per-student expenditure of $18,644 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized and allocated. Additionally, Woodland Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 17.6, which is higher than the nearby A.O. Marshall Elementary (12.8), indicating that class sizes may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
