Summary

Woodland Elementary School in Atlanta, GA, serves 851 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Fulton County School District, and has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 246th out of 1,219 elementary schools (80th percentile).

Woodland stands out as a high-performing school that serves a more economically diverse student body than many of its top-ranked neighbors—about 46.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. In math, Woodland's proficiency rates (59.1% in 3rd grade, 65.4% in 4th grade, and 52.8% in 5th grade) beat state averages by 8 to 15 percentage points, and its 5th-grade science scores (59.5% proficient) outpace the district by nearly 4 points and the state by over 15 points. The school also shows a dramatic turnaround in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 24.7% in 2022-2023 to just 10.7% now—better than both the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. This improvement tracks closely with the school's steady academic climb over the past several years, recovering fully from a pandemic-era dip.

What makes Woodland particularly compelling is its efficiency and effectiveness across all student groups. It spends $16,864 per student—significantly less than nearby Spalding Drive Elementary ($23,504) or Cary Reynolds Elementary School ($24,894)—yet achieves far better results than those schools. Woodland also earns 4-star ratings for male, Hispanic, special education, and African American students, with special education students ranking in the 77th percentile statewide. While elite nearby schools like Austin Elementary School post higher raw scores, Woodland delivers results closer to those top performers than to its Fulton County neighbors with similar poverty levels, making it a strong choice for families seeking both academic rigor and a diverse community.

This is my son's 4th year. We've been there since PK. The staff is young and enthusiastic, providing resources all around to challenge his academics when needed. They encourage and accept all kinds of parental involvement no matter how little or how much. I have no other elementary school experience to compare it to, but I'm happy thus far. Close Quote

Amazing school and staff! So exciting that Woodland is STEM certified! I love how the teachers incorporate the engineering design process into all subject areas including PE, Art and Music. Great after school programs for the students as well, in the area of science, technology, engineering and math. Close Quote

I have my daughter going to this school for the last 2 years and is definitely very good. Even the technology use and skill development and PTA are excellent. Close Quote
