Summary

Woodbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlottesville, Virginia, serving 525 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Albemarle County Public Schools district, which is ranked 47 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Woodbrook Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with significantly lower performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to the Albemarle County and Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Woodbrook's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 41.57%, compared to 71.08% for Albemarle County and 72.89% for Virginia. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Woodbrook has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Woodbrook Elementary's performance is significantly lower than other elementary schools in the Albemarle County district, such as Broadus Wood, Baker-Butler, and Hollymead, which consistently rank in the top half of Virginia elementary schools. Woodbrook also performs worse than the Charlottesville City Public Schools district, which has several elementary schools that outperform Woodbrook on academic measures. Despite higher per-student spending, Woodbrook has not been able to translate this into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.
