Summary

Woodsdale Elementary School is a grades 3–4 school in Abington, MA with 372 students, part of a district ranked 195th of 351 statewide (44th percentile, 2 stars). Woodsdale's current statewide school rank is 575th of 899 schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 36th percentile with 2 stars. That is a clear decline from its own recent history: the 70th percentile in 2021–2022 and 73rd percentile in 2018–2019 with 4 stars, with the rank falling every reported year since.

In 2025–2026, 33.82% of Woodsdale students were proficient in ELA and 35.40% in math, versus 40.03% and 41.11% statewide, about 6.2 and 5.7 points below the state. Every grade and subject is below the state, with the largest gap in 4th-grade math (9.3 points below). Math fell from 44.66% to 35.40% in a single year, and ELA slipped from 45.29% in 2023–2024 to 33.82%. Woodsdale comfortably outperforms nearby Brockton schools, including Oscar F Raymond (about 21 points higher in ELA) and Louis F Angelo Elementary. But it trails Highlands (Braintree) by roughly 19 points in ELA and 29 in math, Thomas W. Hamilton Primary School (Weymouth) by about 16 and 26 points, and Louise A Conley and Phelps Elementary School by around 5–6 points. John F Kennedy (Holbrook) is nearly level with Woodsdale in both subjects.

Subgroup percentile ranks have weakened: current standings are 46 for African American students and 41 for female students, but just 14 for low-income students, 19 for white students, 26 for English learners, and 30 for special education students. Hispanic students fell from the 92nd to the 39th percentile and low-income students from 66 to 14 since 2023–2024. Per-student spending was $14,611 in 2020–2021, lower than many nearby schools, and the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.9. Beaver Brook Elementary, the only same-district peer, serves K–2 and has no current MCAS data, and free/reduced-lunch figures were unavailable, so comparisons with K–5 schools remain approximate.
