Summary

Woodland Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 429 students in northern Elkhart, Indiana, part of Elkhart Community Schools (ranked 317 of 374 districts statewide, 1 star).

The school's standout strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3% is the lowest of any Elkhart elementary in its peer group and beats both the district (28.2%) and state (16.7%) averages — a roughly 31-point drop in four years, moving from worse than the state to better. Woodland also exceeds its district average in all four tested subjects (ELA 20.77, math 27.32, science 25.49, social studies 21.31); only Woodland and Mary Feeser Elementary School manage that. Within the district it sits in a functional middle cluster alongside Roosevelt STEAM Academy and Cleveland Elementary School, while Mary Daly Elementary School, Beardsley Elementary School, and Mary Beck Elementary School lag well behind.

What Woodland has not done is break out of the low band it has held for a decade — never above the 23rd percentile, never more than 1 star. Third grade is the weak point: ELA is 15.49%, the only grade trailing the district, while grades 4 and 5 are at or above it. Science and social studies are trending up. Money is not the constraint — Woodland spends $11,616 per pupil, while Mary Beck spends $15,262 for 4.29% ELA. Nearby comparisons are striking: Jimtown Intermediate School (Baugo Community Schools), with 45.9% low-income students, reaches 52.12% ELA, and Horizon Elementary School (Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp) spends $9,519 yet outperforms Woodland by about 42 points in ELA. Moran Elementary School shows a similar pattern. The likeliest next lever is early-grade literacy and math.

This is a great school, the principle Mr Payne is always willing to listen. This principle has made a big turnaround with the teachers the students and parents. The staff at Woodland work to keep the kids in a safe,and the learning environment positive.
There is constant change to keep the kids interest. Parent participation is high and always welcome.
