Summary:
Zip code 01077 is home to two elementary schools, both in the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District: Woodland School, serving grades PK–2 with 324 students, and Powder Mill School, serving grades 3–6 with 383 students — about 707 elementary students in total, split across the two grade bands.
Powder Mill carries the state-tested grades, and its standout result is science, where 51.16% of students were proficient — 10.18 points above the state and 5.09 points above the district, and up sharply from 43.30% the prior year. Fifth grade ELA is also strong at 51.16%, which is 13.01 points above the state. Math is the weak spot: all-grades proficiency fell from 43.35% to 36.81%, and 4th grade math at 28.24% sits 14.96 points below the state. Overall, the school ranks 469 of 899, the 48th percentile with 2 stars, down slightly from 50th percentile and 3 stars in each of the two prior years.
Woodland has no current MCAS scores, consistent with its PK–2 grade span; its only available rank history runs from 2012–13 through 2014–15, peaking at 59th percentile and 3 stars in 2014–15, which is too old to describe current performance. Woodland spends more per student — $17,639 in 2020–21 versus $15,317 at Powder Mill — with a similar student-teacher ratio of 11.2 compared with 10.8. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not available for either school for 2024–25. Because their grade spans and available data differ, the two schools are not direct academic peers.
