Summary
Woodman Elementary is a Wichita district school serving 612 students in PK–5 at 2500 Hiram in Wichita, Kansas. Its latest proficiency results are below both district and state rates in all three tested subjects: 25% in English language arts (ELA), 15% in mathematics, and 17% in science, compared with state rates of 46%, 41%, and 38%. The most important takeaway is that Woodman’s results remain substantially below Kansas proficiency rates, especially in mathematics.
Compared with nearby schools, Woodman is closer to the middle than the bottom: its ELA and science rates are near the local averages, and its math result is essentially even with the average. ELA is its closest subject to the state rate, while mathematics is farthest behind both the state and the Wichita district. Grade-level results reveal sharper contrasts: Woodman’s third-grade ELA rate of 33% is second-highest among the 11 nearby schools, behind Gardiner Elementary. Fourth grade stands out as a weakness: ELA is 18%, second-lowest locally, and math is 12.6%, the lowest among the nearby schools; Franklin Elementary is next-lowest in math at 12.9%.
ELA and math have risen each year over the four-year series, by about 5 and 4 percentage points, respectively, but their gaps below Kansas have widened by about 8 and 6 points. Science has fallen 11 points from its 2023–24 peak. Chronic absenteeism improved from 37% to 28%, though it remains 10 points above the state rate. SchoolDigger ranks Woodman 626th of 657 Kansas schools, in the 5th percentile with 0 stars. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.0, close to the nearby average of 13.8; its 87% free/reduced-lunch rate is also within the local range. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner students fell from the 62nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 13th in 2025–26. For Multi-racial students, it dropped from the 40th percentile in 2024–25 to the 14th in 2025–26, even as the overall percentile stayed at 5.
