Country posts 80% in both ELA and math despite the lowest listed per-student spending ($26,604), though both declined 5.2–5.4 points. Field Elementary School has solid math (79.22%) but ELA and science below district averages, while ranking 22nd of 899 elementary schools. Weston Middle is the most improved on rank, moving from 20th of 493 in 2023–24 to 8th of 478 in 2025–26, with gains in ELA, math, science, and civics. Weston High remains very strong, with a 98.2% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout rate, and 10th-grade math at 84.93% versus the state’s 43.73%, but 10th-grade ELA fell from 82.1% to 73.1% and its rank slipped from 14th to 25th.

For context, 2025–26 state all-grade proficiency was 40.03% ELA, 41.11% math, and 40.98% science, and nearly every reported score in the district is far above those levels. Spending and staffing do not show a simple relationship: Woodland has the highest 2020–21 spending ($33,810) and highest student-teacher ratio (14.4), while Country has the lowest spending and a mid-range ratio; Weston High has the lowest ratio (10.8). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all five schools, so economic context cannot be analyzed, and those blanks should not be read as 0%. Spending data is from 2020–21 while test scores and ratios are from later years, so spending comparisons should be treated cautiously.
