Summary

Woodlake Elementary is a K–6 school in Sacramento, serving 351 students in Twin Rivers Unified. Its enrollment is toward the smaller end of the nearby schools. The most urgent concern for families is attendance: in 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 62%, the highest rate among 10 nearby schools, compared with 44% in the district and 18% statewide.

Academically, ELA is Woodlake’s strongest subject relative to local comparisons, while science is its weakest; results are below district and state levels in all three subjects. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 23% in ELA, 10% in math and 3% in science. Those results were 27, 28 and 33 percentage points below state rates, respectively, and 13, 17 and 18 points below district rates. Nearby-school averages were 32% in ELA, 24% in math and 19% in science, leaving Woodlake 9, 14 and 15 points below them. Grade 3 ELA was a relative bright spot at 31%, close to the district’s 32%; by grade 6, ELA was 13%, and math was 4%—23 points below the district’s grade 6 result.

Longer-term results are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 4 points and math rose 1, while science fell 9 points and its gap with the state widened from 18 to 33 points. Math also fell 7 points from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranks Woodlake at 5,550 of 5,804 schools, the 4th percentile, with 0 stars; its percentile dropped from 15 the previous year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a relative bright spot for Special Education Students at the 23rd percentile, compared with 4th overall. Its Female Students ranking fell from the 27th to the 6th percentile. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.9, and 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
