Summary:
Woodstock School District is served by a single elementary school, Woodstock Elementary School, which enrolls 391 students in grades PK through 4 across the town of Woodstock.
The standout story at Woodstock Elementary is a dramatic turnaround between 2024–25 and 2025–26. After the school ranked in the 38th percentile statewide in 2024–25 with two stars, it jumped to the 50th percentile in 2025–26 (rank 245 out of 491) and earned three stars, matching its 2023–24 level. During that same period, the school moved from below the Connecticut state average in every SBAC category to above the state average in all four: 3rd grade ELA rose from 43.0% to 51.6% proficiency (state: 47.3%), 4th grade ELA improved from 49.4% to 53.7% (state: 50.9%), 3rd grade math surged from 38.0% to 56.3% (state: 52.2%), and 4th grade math jumped from 41.5% to 54.9% (state: 52.1%). Math, previously the school's weakest area, is now a clear strength, with the largest single-year gain of +18.3 points in 3rd grade math.
Attendance and class size also paint a favorable picture. The school's 2024–25 chronic absenteeism rate of 9.8% is well below the state's 16.4%, though above the district's 2025–26 rate of 7.2%. With a 12.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, class sizes are relatively small, which likely supports individualized attention. About 23% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic diversity, yet the school still exceeded state averages across all subjects in 2025–26. Per-student spending was $13,783 in 2018–19, the most recent figure available. If current academic trends continue, Woodstock Elementary appears well-positioned for sustained improvement.
