Summary

Woodlake Elementary School in Mandeville, LA, serves 442 students from Pre-K through 3rd grade and is part of the highly-rated St. Tammany Parish school district. This school has historically been a top performer, earning 5-star ratings for nearly a decade, but recently dropped to a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide. Despite this decline, Woodlake remains a strong academic choice, with exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 10.4%—less than half the district average of 21.2%—and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, which is lower than nearby schools like Mandeville Elementary (11.1:1) and Pontchartrain Elementary (11.9:1).

One of Woodlake’s standout strengths is its 3rd-grade Social Studies performance, with a 76% proficiency rate that outpaces the district (62%) and state (49%) averages, and rivals top peers like Mandeville Elementary (78%) and Pontchartrain Elementary (80%). However, the school has seen a notable drop in its statewide ranking, falling from the 90th-97th percentile to the 82nd percentile, while nearby schools like Mandeville Elementary (95th percentile) and Pontchartrain Elementary (96th percentile) have maintained their elite 5-star status. This decline is partly due to other schools improving faster, but Woodlake’s Math and ELA proficiency rates—70% and 75% respectively—remain well above state averages, indicating solid academic foundations.

Woodlake’s performance for specific student groups has been inconsistent, with Special Education students dropping from the 98th to the 73rd percentile and Hispanic students falling from the 90th to the 25th percentile over recent years. The school is part of a competitive “Mandeville Micro-Cluster” of high-performing elementary schools, including Magnolia Trace Elementary (83rd percentile) and Marigny Elementary, where Woodlake now ranks as the lowest among its immediate peers. With a free/reduced lunch rate of 28.96%, similar to Mandeville Elementary (30.51%) but higher than Pontchartrain Elementary (24.69%), Woodlake offers a nurturing environment with small class sizes and strong attendance, making it a good school that is working to reverse its recent trend and reclaim its former top-tier status.
