Woodland Middle improved its gap in both subjects, while Woodland Intermediate and Viking lost ground in both; River Trail improved in math but slipped slightly in ELA. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking percentiles were 37 for Woodland Middle, 26 for Woodland Intermediate, 11 for River Trail, and 3 for Viking; Warren Township’s was 68.
