Summary
Woodcrest Elementary serves 660 students in grades K–6 in Riverside, within Riverside Unified, which SchoolDigger ranks 475th of 968 California districts. The school’s latest results show it below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science; the clearest concern is science, where it had the lowest proficiency of the nearby schools.
Math is Woodcrest’s strongest subject relative to its comparisons, though it remains below the state and nearby average: 35% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and a 45% nearby average. ELA proficiency was 42%, versus 49% statewide and 51% nearby. Science was weaker still: 19% were proficient, compared with 32% in the district, 36% statewide, and 38% at nearby schools; even the lowest nearby result was 27%. Fifth grade is a particular weak spot: proficiency was 32% in ELA and 22% in math, both the lowest nearby results reported. By contrast, sixth-grade ELA and math results were above state and district averages.
