Summary

Woodland Elementary School in Aurora, CO serves 577 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5, one of Colorado's top-ranked districts. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 192nd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 80th percentile statewide. With a student-teacher ratio of 16:1, Woodland is slightly larger than many of its immediate neighbors, whose enrollments range from 477 to 758 students.

Woodland's academic performance stands well above district and state averages. In 2025-2026, 66% of students met or exceeded state standards in English Language Arts, compared to 49.5% across the district and 44.7% statewide. In math, 57% were proficient versus 44.2% and 37.3%, respectively. The school also posted the largest year-over-year ranking improvement among ten nearby schools in the district, jumping 101 places in a single year. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 11.5% - less than half the district rate of 25.3% - and only Altitude Elementary, Mountain Vista Elementary, and Pine Ridge Elementary match or beat that figure among neighbors. Woodland's ELA proficiency climbs steadily from 51.2% in 3rd grade to 78.9% in 5th grade, suggesting students grow academically as they progress through the school.

Woodland's low-income students rank 14th out of 319 Colorado elementary schools (96th percentile) for subgroup performance - a remarkable achievement. The school's free/reduced lunch rate has nearly doubled over three years, from 10.8% to 20.28%, yet overall rankings improved during that same period. Areas for growth include 3rd grade math, slightly below the district average, and 5th grade science, which has been volatile. Woodland trails its closest geographic neighbors, Altitude Elementary and Black Forest Hills Elementary, both 5-star schools, but outperforms the rest of its peer group by wide margins. For parents, Woodland represents a strong, improving school with an impressive track record of supporting students from all backgrounds.
