Summary

Woodcrest Elementary School in Midland, MI, is a consistently high-performing school within the Midland Public Schools district, serving 600 students in grades PK through 5 and ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Woodcrest’s most impressive strength is its upper-grade performance. In 5th grade, proficiency rates are dramatically higher than district averages—73.5% in ELA, 60.6% in Math, 77.8% in Science, and 61.6% in Social Studies, compared to district averages of 55.1%, 45.1%, 58.8%, and 43.2%, respectively. The school shows a unique "growth" pattern: 3rd-grade scores start near the district average, but by 4th and 5th grade, students pull well ahead. This suggests the instructional approach at Woodcrest is highly effective at accelerating learning as students progress. Notably, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,542) than several comparable schools in the district, including Adams Elementary School ($15,465) and Plymouth Elementary School ($15,735), indicating strong resource efficiency.

When compared to nearby Siebert Elementary School—just a mile away with nearly identical rankings and demographics—Woodcrest stands out with notably higher 5th-grade scores in ELA (73.5% vs. 65%) and Science (77.8% vs. 59.3%). However, one area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which rose to 22.3% in 2024-2025, up from just 5.7% pre-pandemic and higher than the district average of 19.2%. While the school’s latest ranking dipped slightly from its recent 5-star status, the exceptional upper-grade results suggest this may be a cohort-specific variation rather than a systemic decline. Woodcrest also serves its students well across different populations, with particularly strong results for male students and consistent performance for students from low socio-economic backgrounds.
