Summary

Woodlan Elementary School is a K–6 school in Woodburn, Indiana, serving 572 students as part of East Allen County Schools. It currently ranks 456th of 1,015 Indiana schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), which is above its district's overall standing but below where it sat in earlier years: it was 154th of 1,027 (85th percentile) in 2017–2018 and 283rd of 1,011 (72nd percentile) in 2023–2024. About 45% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Math is Woodlan's clearest academic strength. In 2025–2026, 51.35% of students tested proficient in math — 16.71 points above the district — with results above state benchmarks in grades 3, 4, and 6. Nearby schools that spend far more per student, such as Willard Shambaugh Elementary School ($16,852 per student, 41.18% math), posted lower math proficiency. English language arts is the concern: proficiency is 36.04%, only 0.42 points above the district and well behind Cedarville Elementary School (80.23%) and Fred H Croninger Elementary School (76.05%) in Fort Wayne Community Schools. ELA fell from about 50% in 2023–2024 to 36.04%, and Woodlan trails the state in grades 4, 5, and 6. The 15.31-point gap between math and ELA is unusually wide.

Chronic absenteeism was 17.0% in 2024–2025 — above Indiana's 16.7% and higher than most nearby schools, even though Woodlan's poverty rate is lower than many of them. The school also spends relatively little ($10,501 per student) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.9), yet still produces strong math results. Woodlan outperforms same-district New Haven Intermediate School in every tested grade in both subjects. The clearest opportunities are middle-grade reading and attendance.
