Summary

Woodward Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brookhaven, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 546 students. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Woodward Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 885 and 1,163 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years, and has received a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period.

Woodward Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.1% of 3rd graders at Woodward were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 29.1% in DeKalb County and 34.9% statewide. The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 89.93% to 100% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the area. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, Woodward Elementary is still underperforming academically, suggesting the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement.

When comparing Woodward Elementary to the nearby schools in the DeKalb County district, as well as some schools in the Atlanta Public Schools district, the academic performance gaps are quite significant. For example, schools like Oak Grove Elementary, Ashford Park Elementary, and Sara Rawson Smith Elementary all significantly outperform Woodward on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subjects.
