Summary

Frank E. Woodruff Elementary serves 444 students in grades K–6 in Bellflower, within Bellflower Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were 31% in ELA, 27% in math, and 19% in science. The central finding for families is that proficiency remains below both state and district levels in all three subjects.

Third-grade math is a notable strength compared with nearby K–6 schools: 47% of students were proficient, nearly matching the state and 3 points above the district; this was the highest result among those five schools. The clearest academic weaknesses are in grades 4–5: fourth-grade ELA was 20% and fifth-grade ELA was 25%, the lowest results among the nearby K–6 schools in both grades. Overall, Woodruff ranked third-lowest among the ten nearby schools in each subject. Its all-grade scores were 18 points below the state in ELA, 12 in math, and 17 in science; compared with the district, it was 16 points behind in ELA, 3 in math, and 7 in science. Math is its strongest subject against the state and district, while science has the largest state gap.

Results have improved from earlier lows, but progress is uneven: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 5 points in ELA, 14 in math, and 10 in science. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 39% in 2021–2022 to 17% in 2025–2026, now below the state and district rates. SchoolDigger ranks Woodruff at the 27th percentile and gives it 1 star, up from the 9th percentile in 2021–2022 but down from the 32nd percentile the year before. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 24.6, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 78% across nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for African American Students was notably stronger than the school’s overall ranking: the group was at the 78th percentile in 2024–2025, versus 32nd overall. Its ranking for English Language Learner Students, by contrast, fell from the 58th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 19th in 2023–2024.
