Summary

Woodcrest Elementary is a Los Angeles public school in Los Angeles Unified, serving 611 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Its academic results are improving, but attendance remains a major concern: chronic absenteeism was 32% in 2025–26, the highest among nearby schools reporting data and well above the district’s 23% and the state’s 18%. The rate has fallen substantially, but it remains the school’s clearest challenge for families to consider.

Woodcrest is strongest in math and English language arts compared with nearby schools, and weakest in science. It ranked third among eight nearby schools in both ELA and math, with results about 7 and 5 points above their respective averages; in science, it ranked seventh and was about 3 points below the nearby average. Math proficiency was about 1 point above the state and 1 point below the district. ELA was 8 points below the state, while science was 16 points below. Fourth-grade math stands out locally: Woodcrest ranked third of nine schools, but fifth-grade math was 10 points below the state. Fifth-grade science was 15 points below the state and ranked seventh of nine.

Results have risen across all three subjects since 2022–23: proficiency increased by about 22 points in ELA, 21 in math, and 11 in science. Math has reached state-level performance, while ELA and science still trail.
