Summary:
There are nine elementary schools in ZIP code 95695, all serving grades K–6 in Woodland Joint Unified. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 34% in English language arts, 23% in math, and 29% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The clearest takeaway is that results vary widely by school, and only one school exceeded the state average in both ELA and math.
Zamora Elementary led in all three subjects, with 53% proficiency in ELA, 41% in math, and 58% in science; it was 4 percentage points above the state in ELA, 3 points above in math, and 22 points above in science. Plainfield Elementary ranked second in the core results, at 47% in ELA, 34% in math, and 43% in science. Beamer Elementary also stood out in science at 42%, above the state despite below-state ELA and math results. At the lower end, T. L. Whitehead Elementary had the lowest ELA score at 17%, while Dingle Elementary had the lowest math score at 10% and Gibson Elementary the lowest science score at 13%.
Recent changes were mixed: the group’s average science score rose 9 percentage points from 2024–2025, bringing it closer to the state, while average math fell 2 points as the state average rose 1 point, widening the gap. Science gains were especially large at Plainfield (+29 points) and Zamora (+25); Zamora’s math score, by contrast, fell 11 points. SchoolDigger ranked Zamora in the 66th percentile statewide and Whitehead in the 4th percentile, though current subject results and rankings tell different things. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 52% at Zamora to 89% at Whitehead; schools with similar figures still had varied results. Reported student–teacher ratios also varied, from 19.0 at Gibson to 25.9 at Beamer, without matching a simple pattern in achievement.
