Summary:
Zip code 35188 (Woodstock, AL) is served by a single elementary school, Woodstock Elementary School, which enrolls 324 students in grades PK through 4 within the Bibb County district.
Woodstock Elementary is the only option for elementary families in this area, and it stands out as a relative bright spot within its district. The school consistently outperforms the Bibb County averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, 4th grade math proficiency is 54.39% compared to the district's 35.97%, and 5th grade English proficiency is 77.27% versus the district's 64.65%. However, the school generally lags behind state averages, particularly in 3rd grade math (42.37% vs. 44.89%) and 4th grade science (45.61% vs. 50.23%). The school has maintained a 3-star state rating for three consecutive years, with its ranking fluctuating between the 50th and 63rd percentiles. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2%, which is higher than the state average of 12.0% but better than the district's 19.7%.
The most encouraging trend is the dramatic improvement in mathematics. Between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, 3rd grade math proficiency jumped from 27.12% to 42.37%, and 4th grade math rose from 40.00% to 54.39%, suggesting a successful intervention or curriculum change. Conversely, science proficiency dropped sharply by 12.39 percentage points, from 58% to 45.61%, marking the largest decline of any subject. With 60.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and a student-to-teacher ratio of 19:1, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, yet its strong district-relative performance indicates effective instruction. Parents should note that while the school excels in certain areas, the overall district ranks in the bottom 40% of Alabama, and the school's inconsistent year-over-year results in some subjects warrant continued monitoring.
