Summary

Woodland Elementary School is a K–5 school in Lafayette, Indiana, serving 601 students in the Tippecanoe School Corp. It holds a 3-star rating and ranks 332nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 67th percentile. The school’s trajectory is clearly upward: its rank percentile climbed from 32nd in 2017–2018 to 67th in 2025–2026, moving from 2 stars to 3 stars. Attendance has improved too, with chronic absenteeism falling from 15.6% in 2021–2022 to 10.6% in 2024–2025 — well below Indiana’s 16.7%. About 54.24% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and per-pupil spending was $11,238 in 2023–2024, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.9.

Woodland’s clearest academic strengths are math and 5th-grade social studies. All-grade math proficiency of 60.42% is 9.2 points above the district’s 51.23% and second among same-district nearby schools, trailing only Wyandotte Elementary (61.00%). Grade-level math is strong across the board (3rd grade 62.16%, 4th grade 60.22%, 5th grade 58.33%). In 5th-grade social studies, Woodland’s 65.48% is the highest among same-district peers — above Dayton Elementary (41.82%) and Mayflower Mill Elementary (52.94%) — and well above the district’s 58.65% and the state’s 47.2%. Reading and writing (ELA) sits at 46.02%, below the district’s 51.44% but above state grade-level benchmarks, and has grown from 38.26% in 2022–2023.

Science is the standout weakness. Woodland’s 26.88% proficiency is far below the district’s 53.19%, the state’s 43.8%, and every same-district nearby school, which range from 40.00% to 52.94%. Notably, that gap — not resources — appears to hold Woodland back: it has the highest per-pupil spending and lowest student-teacher ratio (13.9) among its same-district neighbors, yet remains 3 stars while Dayton Elementary and Wyandotte Elementary hold 4 stars. Its 10.6% chronic absenteeism also compares very favorably with nearby Lafayette School Corporation schools such as Oakland Elementary and Miami Elementary School, where rates run from 15.1% to 32.6%. If Woodland lifts science while keeping its math and social studies strengths, a 4-star rating looks achievable.
