Summary

In Woodstock, Illinois, Prairiewood Elementary School serves 374 students in grades 1–5 in Woodstock CUSD 200. Its 2025–2026 results are uneven: English Language Arts (ELA) is a relative strength, while math is the clearest academic concern. Math proficiency was 36%, below the state’s 40%, the district’s 43% and the average of 47% at nine nearby schools with comparable results. The concern is especially pronounced in fourth grade, where 28% were proficient, compared with 42% statewide.

ELA is Prairiewood’s strongest result against the state, but it does not lead locally: 65% of students were proficient, 9 percentage points above the state, 7 below the district and about 1 below the nearby-school average. Fifth-grade science was 48%, roughly level with the state and district, but 7 points below the average at nearby schools with results. The school’s fourth-grade math score was lower than all but one of the nine nearby schools with comparable results. Together, these comparisons show that ELA is close to the local norm, while math—particularly fourth grade—and science trail most nearby results.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 44% to 65%, while math rose from 26% to 36% overall but fell from 40% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger places Prairiewood at the 50th percentile statewide, with 3 stars; its percentile declined from 62 in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping from 26% in 2022–2023 to 16% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 23% and state’s 24%. The student-teacher ratio was 14.8 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average of 14.5; 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students was at the 65th percentile in 2025–2026, up 26 points from 2024–2025. For Male Students, it was at the 34th percentile, down 24 points since 2023–2024 and 16 points below the school’s overall percentile.
