Summary

Woodland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Troy, Michigan, serving 334 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Avondale School District. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (41.7%) and Math (44.4%) was lower than the district (47.3% and 51.6%) and state (38.9% and 42.7%) averages.

Woodland Elementary School also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.5% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.23% to 35.91% in recent years. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Deerfield Elementary, and other districts, such as Costello, Hamlin, Wass, Hamilton, and Leonard Elementary Schools, Woodland Elementary School generally underperforms academically, with lower test scores and rankings.

Concerning trends have also been observed at Woodland Elementary School, as its performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 5-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 1-star rating in 2020-2021. This decline in performance may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed, and the school's performance for specific student subgroups also varies significantly, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of different student populations.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, July 4, 2019

We intentionally transferred to Woodland from a highly ranked elementary school in the Troy School District. The numbers at Woodland do not paint a full picture of how great this school is. Sure, this school has more students in need of lunch assistance and lower test scores than the school we left, but the class sizes are wonderfully small (about 21 or 22 kids per class!). And the Principal Schneider simply could not be better! She is absolutely adored by all.

My children have lived in multiple states and have attended many high-performing schools in highly ranked school districts, and I can attest that the principal and teachers at Woodland are more dedicated to success than many at more "prestigious" schools. If your child is getting overlooked or bullied or otherwise not served well by another Oakland County school, I highly suggest you consider a transfer to Woodland. Woodland is still, to my knowledge, open to Schools of Choice transfers. Close Quote
