Summary

Wood School is a 470-student PK–5 elementary school in Tempe, in the Tempe School District, which SchoolDigger ranks 179th of 267 districts (33rd percentile, 2 stars). Wood’s 2025–26 results show a clear grade-level pattern: fifth graders reached 47% proficiency in ELA and 41% in math, compared with 28% and 24% in third grade, and 41% and 26% in fourth grade. The most important takeaway is that fifth grade is a relative bright spot, while grades 3–4—especially math—are the clearest areas of concern.

Wood’s all-grades ELA and math results are above the district but below the state: ELA was 39%, versus 35% for the district and 41% for the state; math was 29%, versus 24% and 33%. ELA is the stronger subject relative to nearby schools, while science is the weakest. Nearby-school averages were 46% for ELA, 41% for math and 34% for fifth-grade science, compared with Wood’s 39%, 29% and 24%. Wood’s fifth-grade science result was also below the district’s 31% and the state’s 34%. By contrast, fifth-grade ELA and math were above both district and state results. Among nearby schools with current SchoolDigger rankings, Wood is above four of the other seven schools and below three.

Wood’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile has risen from 15 in 2023–24 to 25 in 2024–25 and 37 in 2025–26, though its current rating remains 2 stars. Fifth-grade science has fluctuated—25% in 2022–23, 20% in 2023–24 and 24% in 2024–25—and remains below the state and district. Wood’s 14.1 student-teacher ratio is close to the nearby-school average of 14.0; its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 51% in 2022–23, but nearby schools have no comparable reported rates. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well Wood serves female students rose from the 13th percentile in 2023–24 to the 54th in 2025–26, above Wood’s overall 37th percentile. Its ranking for how well it serves male students was at the 8th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 38th percentile in 2022–23.
