Summary

Woodrow Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school in Manhattan, Kansas, serving 232 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Manhattan-Ogden school district, which is ranked 77 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency, with a 66.31% ELA proficiency rate in 2024-2025 compared to 52.76% for the district and 44.47% for the state. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate of 38% was lower than the district's 46.58% and on par with the state's 38.73%. The school's performance is particularly strong among specific student groups, such as Female, White, and Special Education students, but lags behind in supporting Military Connected students.

While Woodrow Wilson Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Ogden Elementary, it falls behind the higher-performing schools like Amanda Arnold Elementary and Marlatt Elementary, which are also part of the Manhattan-Ogden district. Additionally, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 22.8%, are a concern and may impact overall student learning and achievement.
