Summary

Woodholme Elementary is a mid-sized school in Baltimore, MD, serving 685 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where 63.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a notable bright spot in Mathematics, with proficiency rates rising from 16.4% to 23.3% over the last four years—a 42% increase that outpaces nearby schools like Milbrook Elementary, Winfield Elementary, and Scotts Branch Elementary, which have remained stagnant or declined. However, English Language Arts remains a significant weakness, with only 38.8% of students proficient—well below the district average of 46.1% and far behind top-performing neighbors like Fort Garrison Elementary (83.2% proficient).

Science scores are critically low, with just 13% of 5th graders proficient compared to 31% district-wide, making Woodholme the second-lowest among its peers, only ahead of Scotts Branch (8.7%). The school also faces a steep grade-level decline, where Math proficiency drops from 32.3% in 3rd grade to 16.4% in 5th grade, suggesting students struggle to build on foundational skills as the curriculum becomes more complex. Most concerning, Woodholme ranks in the 4th percentile for Special Education students and the 12th percentile for low-income students statewide, indicating it is among the least effective schools in Maryland at meeting the needs of these vulnerable populations—a far more severe challenge than at most nearby schools.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 32.6% in 2021-2022 to 19.9% in 2024-2025, now significantly better than the district average (25.6%) and schools like Church Lane Elementary (27.1%). The school spends $18,611 per student, higher than the state average, but this investment has not yet translated into strong academic outcomes, suggesting resources may be heavily directed toward supporting high-needs students rather than directly boosting proficiency. While Woodholme is making progress in some areas, a fundamental shift in strategy is needed to close the achievement gap for its most vulnerable students and reverse the trend of declining performance as students move through the grades.
