James R Wood Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its test scores from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, with proficiency rates dropping by over 20 percentage points in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. However, the school's 3rd grade students are performing well above the state average in both ELA and Math, while the 4th grade students are lagging behind the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, which could be contributing to the decline in test scores.

Despite the challenges, the school's spending per student of $15,250 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1 is relatively low, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, the data suggests that James R Wood Elementary School is facing some difficulties, but there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and strategies.
