Summary

Woodside Intermediate School in Cromwell, CT, serves 440 students in grades 3–5 as the upper-elementary campus of the Cromwell School District. The school currently ranks 205th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (58th percentile, 3 stars), a solid improvement from its 42nd percentile standing a decade ago. After a dip in 2023–2024, Woodside has recovered and now sits comfortably in the mid-to-upper tier of elementary schools statewide.

Woodside has several clear strengths. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.4%, well below the state average of 16.4% and roughly half the 14.5% rate at same-district Edna C. Stevens School. English language arts proficiency improves steadily across grades, reaching 68.6% in 5th grade compared to 53.5% statewide, and 5th-grade science is a standout at 64.1% proficiency versus 52.9% for Connecticut as a whole. The school is also notably effective for students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 80th percentile for that group—a dramatic improvement in recent years.

The main academic concern is 5th-grade math, where proficiency drops sharply from 61.7% in 4th grade to 48.1% in 5th grade, a pattern seen in prior years as well. Woodside also has a higher student-teacher ratio (13.4) than most nearby schools. Compared to regional peers, Woodside trails high performers like Nayaug Elementary School in Glastonbury and Gildersleeve School in Portland, but it holds its own against many others while spending less per student ($13,483) than most neighboring schools—a sign of efficient resource use with room to strengthen math instruction.
