Woodward-Granger Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking in the top 10% of Iowa elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Students at the elementary school demonstrate exceptional academic performance, scoring well above state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ISASP assessments. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is on par with the district average.

In contrast, the Woodward-Granger Early Learning Center serves younger students in grades PK-1 and does not have the same level of performance data available. However, the Early Learning Center has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 12.5% compared to 21.41% at the elementary school, suggesting potential demographic differences between the two student populations. The student-teacher ratio is also higher at the Early Learning Center (19.4) compared to the elementary school (14.3), which may indicate potential challenges for students transitioning between the two schools.
