Summary

Woodside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Holland, Michigan, serving 455 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the West Ottawa Public School District, which is ranked 273 out of 613 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Woodside Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.4% of 3rd-grade students at Woodside were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.8% in the district and 38.9% statewide. Woodside also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.5% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school faces particular challenges in supporting certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who perform in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools in their respective categories.

When comparing Woodside Elementary to other nearby schools in the West Ottawa Public School District, it becomes clear that Woodside is an outlier in terms of academic performance and student outcomes. For example, Lakewood Elementary and Waukazoo Elementary consistently outperform Woodside on standardized tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the school's challenges, the increased spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the issues Woodside faces are likely more complex than just a lack of resources.
