Summary

Woodland Elementary School is a small, rural school in Woodland, AL, serving 338 students in Pre-K through 6th grade within the Randolph County district. This school stands out as a clear academic leader in its county, consistently outperforming its immediate district peers and often exceeding state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.

Woodland's most compelling story is its remarkable improvement over the last five years. After years of 2-star ratings, the school jumped to a 4-star rating and the 72nd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, before settling at a still-strong 3-star rating (283rd of 686 schools) in the most recent data. This upward trajectory suggests recent instructional changes have been effective. The school is especially strong in reading, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency at 81.82% in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 69.53%. Math performance is more mixed but competitive, and 4th-grade science scores surpass both district and state averages. Notably, Woodland achieves these results while spending less per student ($7,851) than nearby schools like Rock Mills Junior High School ($11,453), demonstrating impressive efficiency. The school also excels with its economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide—matching the school's overall performance and indicating the achievement gap is being successfully closed.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which swung dramatically from an exceptionally low 2.9% in 2023-2024 to a troubling 13.3% in 2024-2025—higher than both district and state averages. This volatility is a red flag that could threaten future academic gains. However, when compared to schools in the higher-performing Cleburne County district, Woodland holds its own. For example, its 3rd-grade math and ELA scores are comparable to those at Pleasant Grove Elementary School and Ranburne Elementary School. For parents, Woodland offers a strong, efficient academic program with a proven track record of lifting up all students, though attendance will be worth monitoring.
