Summary

Woodmore Elementary in Bowie, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 402 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a quietly effective school that provides a stable, high-quality education despite the district's overall challenges.

Woodmore's greatest strength is its exceptional support for students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for this group—a 4-star rating that shows the school is highly effective at helping these students succeed. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 19.6%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 30.2% and many nearby peers like Northview Elementary (32.0%) and High Bridge Elementary (26.2%). Academically, Woodmore consistently posts test scores roughly double the district average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA), with ELA proficiency (55.1%) even exceeding the state average (51.7%). However, Math is a relative weakness, especially in 5th grade where only 18.7% of students were proficient—a sharp drop from 3rd grade's 36.8%—suggesting a need for targeted math support in upper grades.

Woodmore is part of a highly stratified "Bowie Cluster," where schools within a 2.5-mile radius vary dramatically. For instance, Heather Hills Elementary is a top-10 school in the state with 80.8% Math proficiency, while High Bridge Elementary struggles with 19.3% Math proficiency. Woodmore sits solidly in the middle, earning a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for years. Its per-student spending of $19,125 is higher than some peers like Whitehall Elementary ($17,827) but lower than others with higher needs like Glenn Dale Elementary ($23,962). For parents, Woodmore offers a reliable, stable option with strong ELA instruction and a proven track record of supporting all students, though you may want to explore additional math enrichment, particularly for 5th graders.
