Summary

Woodbridge Elementary is a public school in the Catonsville area of Baltimore, MD, serving 484 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a strong, above-average performer that is "beating the odds" by achieving exceptional academic results despite a high level of economic need, with about two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Woodbridge's academic performance is a major differentiator from nearby schools. Its all-grades math proficiency of 50.5% is more than double the district average and nearly double the state average, and it is nearly three times higher than schools like Dogwood Elementary (18.2%) and Edmondson Heights Elementary (16.1%), even though those schools have similar poverty levels. In fact, Woodbridge's math scores rival those of more affluent schools like Westchester Elementary (60.9% math, 26.6% FRL) and Catonsville Elementary (43.4% math, 48.6% FRL). The school also has exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 5.8%, compared to the district average of 25.6% and rates of over 23% at nearby schools like Johnnycake Elementary and Dogwood.

Woodbridge has shown a remarkable upward trend, climbing from the 56th percentile in state rankings in 2019 to its highest rank at the 77th percentile in 2025-2026. While the school excels in math and English, its 5th-grade science scores (38.7% proficient) are a relative weakness, falling below those of Hillcrest Elementary (64.6%) and Westchester (55%). Notably, Woodbridge's per-student spending ($17,278) is in the middle of the pack compared to neighbors, with lower-performing schools like Chadwick Elementary ($21,234) and Featherbed Lane Elementary ($19,972) spending more, suggesting that Woodbridge's success is driven by effective resource allocation and strong instructional strategies rather than higher spending.
