Summary

Woodbury Middle School is a public middle school serving 1,098 students in grades 6-8 in Woodbury, Minnesota. It is part of the South Washington County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Woodbury Middle School has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of Minnesota middle schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 151 out of 519 middle schools in the state.

Woodbury Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 50.48% of Woodbury students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 49.59% statewide and 54.46% for the South Washington County Schools district. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 13th out of 178 Minnesota middle schools in reading proficiency in 2022-2023, and English Language Learners ranking 17th out of 133 middle schools in the state that same year.

While Woodbury Middle School has a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (23.41% in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, it still serves a diverse student population, including significant populations of Asian, African American, and Hispanic students. The school's ability to support the academic achievement of traditionally underperforming subgroups is particularly noteworthy, and its consistent high performance suggests it has effective teaching practices and support systems in place to help all students succeed. Woodbury Middle School's proximity to several lower-performing middle schools, such as Battle Creek Middle and E-Stem Middle School, which are part of the Saint Paul Public Schools district, highlights the educational disparities that can exist within a relatively small geographic area.
