Summary
Spring Lake Elementary serves 387 students in grades K–6 in Woodland, California, as part of Woodland Joint Unified. Its standout feature is strong proficiency across all three tested subjects: in 2025–2026, 68% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 58% in math, and 57% in science. The clearest overall finding is that Spring Lake led its 10 nearby comparison schools in ELA and math and was a close second in science.
Spring Lake’s results were also well above state and district rates: it exceeded California by 19 percentage points in ELA, 19 in math, and 21 in science, and exceeded its district by 27, 32, and 27 points, respectively. Nearby-school averages were 34% in ELA, 24% in math, and 30% in science. Spring Lake’s ELA and math rates were each far ahead of the next-highest nearby school, Zamora Elementary; in science, Spring Lake was just under Zamora’s 58%. Its strongest grade-level results were in grades 5 and 6, especially ELA, while grades 3 and 4 were lower.
These strong comparisons do not mean scores have steadily improved: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency fell 2 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 7 in science, though the state gaps narrowed as statewide results rose. SchoolDigger placed Spring Lake in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, down 6 percentile points from its 2022–2023 peak but still ahead of nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was low at 3%, versus 18% statewide and 23% in the district. In 2024–2025, 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest rate among nearby schools, while the student-teacher ratio was 25.8, second-highest in the nearby group. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Asian students placed that group in the 18th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 82nd percentile. Its measure for Hispanic students was 79th percentile, down from 93rd in 2023–2024.
