Woodlands stands out for its elite academic performance, far exceeding district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 3rd-grade reading proficiency reached 83.17%, compared to the district average of 50.27%. The school is also remarkably effective with diverse student groups, earning a 99th percentile ranking for its work with low-income students.

The school has shown a dramatic improvement in supporting at-risk students, jumping from the 38th to the 92nd percentile in recent years. This consistent, localized success—driven by strong leadership and teaching—makes Woodlands a standout choice for families seeking a high-performing elementary school in the Amarillo area.
