Summary

Woodrow Wilson Elementary is a K–5 school with 207 students in Manhattan, Kansas, part of the Manhattan-Ogden district, which includes several nearby elementary schools for comparison. The school’s all-grade results are strongest in science and English language arts (ELA), but math is its clearest schoolwide weakness.

Science is the school’s standout compared with the state, district and nearby schools: 61% of students were proficient, versus 38% statewide, 47% in the district and a 53% average at nearby schools. ELA was also above those benchmarks, at 60% compared with 46% statewide, 53% in the district and a 56% nearby-school average. Math lagged: 40% were proficient, below the state’s 41%, the district’s 49% and the nearby-school average of 47%. Among Woodrow Wilson and the 10 nearby schools with comparable all-grade results, it ranked fourth in ELA, ninth in math and second in science. Grade-level results add important context: fifth-grade ELA reached 78%, higher than every nearby school with a reported result, while third-grade ELA was 47%, below state and district levels. Third- and fourth-grade math were also below both benchmarks, even as fifth-grade math rose to 57%.

Over time, science proficiency rose from 43% in 2022–23 to 61% in 2025–26, and its lead over the state widened from 12 to 23 percentage points. ELA rose from 44% to 60% over that period, though it fell 6 points from the previous year. Math increased from 39% to 40%, shifting from 8 points above the state to 1 point below. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, fifth among the 11 schools in the local comparison. Its 9.9 students per teacher was the lowest reported among nearby schools; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 64%, compared with a 47% nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 87th percentile, versus the school’s 62nd-percentile overall ranking. For students with low socioeconomic status, the ranking fell from the 74th percentile to the 58th from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the overall ranking moved from the 67th to the 62nd percentile.
