Summary

Woodbury Elementary is a public elementary school in Woodbury, Minnesota, serving 462 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the South Washington County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Woodbury Elementary has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments are consistently lower than the district and state, particularly in 5th grade Math where the proficiency rate was only 25.76% in 2024-2025, compared to 53.26% for the district and 42.94% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the Asian student group performing better than their White and Multi-racial peers.

Interestingly, Woodbury Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools in the same district, such as Red Rock Elementary and Royal Oaks Elementary, which have consistently higher proficiency rates in Math and Reading. Additionally, Woodbury Leadership Academy, a public charter school in the area, and Battle Creek Elementary School, a public magnet school in the nearby St. Paul district, also outperform Woodbury Elementary across academic measures.
