Summary

Woodlake Elementary is a public elementary school in Sacramento, California, serving 329 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Twin Rivers Unified School District, which is ranked 1107 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodlake Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20.4% to 46.7% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 26.74% of Woodlake students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 36.86% for the district and 48.81% for the state. Woodlake's subgroups, such as female students, male students, and English Language Learners, all perform significantly worse than their counterparts at the district and state levels.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Smythe Academy of Arts and Sciences, Hagginwood Elementary, and Fairbanks Elementary, Woodlake Elementary consistently performs worse across all key metrics. Expanding the comparison to schools outside the Twin Rivers Unified District, such as Theodore Judah Elementary and Caleb Greenwood Elementary in the Sacramento City Unified District, Woodlake's performance is significantly worse. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, low socioeconomic status of the student population, and overall low performance compared to its peers suggest the need for targeted interventions to address the root causes of the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
