Summary

Woodland Academy is an elementary school located in Worcester, MA that serves grades K-6 with 489 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodland Academy significantly underperforms the Worcester district and Massachusetts state averages across all MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.81% of Woodland Academy students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 25.85% in Worcester and 41.53% statewide. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with its rankings for Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all in the bottom 30-40% of Massachusetts elementary schools.

However, Woodland Academy's relatively strong performance for its small population of homeless students is an interesting finding that could provide insights into effective practices for supporting vulnerable student groups. Several nearby elementary schools in the Worcester district, such as Midland Street, May Street, and Jacob Hiatt Magnet, significantly outperform Woodland Academy on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to Woodland Academy's poor performance.
