Summary

In Hanford, California, Woodrow Wilson Junior High serves 505 students in grades 7–8 in a community with several nearby middle schools. In 2025–2026, 51% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 41% in math, both above state averages of 49% and 38%; science proficiency was 29%, 7 points below the state’s 36%. Science is the school’s clearest academic concern.

Math is a relative strength compared with nearby schools serving the same grades: Woodrow exceeded most of its neighbors in both 7th- and 8th-grade math, including John F. Kennedy Junior High and Pioneer Middle. Its 7th-grade ELA was above district and state results, while 8th-grade ELA was below both. Overall, Woodrow’s ELA was 1 point above the Hanford Elementary district average, and its math was essentially level with the district. Science was 2 points below the district and 7 below the state; Woodrow was ahead of Kennedy, Laton Middle, and Parkview Middle, but behind Riverdale Elementary, Lemoore University Elementary Charter, Liberty Middle, and Pioneer.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 6 points, math 12, and science 11, though the science gap with the state widened from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger placed Woodrow at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 54th percentile in 2022–2023; nearby Liberty, Lemoore, and Pioneer ranked slightly higher.
