Summary

Woodbury Middle School is a grade 6–8 school in Woodbury, Minnesota, part of South Washington County Schools, enrolling 1,160 students — one of the larger middle schools in the area. Statewide, it ranks 138th of 546 schools (75th percentile, 4 stars) for 2025–2026. That is a solidly above-average standing, though below the school's peak of 47th of 508 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2015–2016; recent percentiles have been 75, 71, and 75.

Among nearby middle schools, Woodbury is the third-strongest by overall percentile, behind Lake Middle School (24th of 546, 96th percentile, 5 stars) and Woodbury Leadership Academy Upper (77th percentile), and ahead of Oltman Middle School (61st percentile). Within the district, it is the second of three middle schools, behind Lake and ahead of Oltman. Lake posts roughly 20 points higher in math, 15 in reading, and 12 in science, despite nearly identical enrollment and a similar student–teacher ratio, though Lake's free/reduced lunch rate is about half of Woodbury's. Woodbury Leadership Academy Upper serves a similarly sized low-income population and beats Woodbury in reading (53.5% vs. 50.0%) and science (27.8% vs. 16.0%), while Woodbury leads in math (46.2% vs. 39.8%). Woodbury also far outperforms several much higher-poverty nearby schools, such as E-Stem Middle School, whose math proficiency is 13.4%.

In 2025–2026, Woodbury's math proficiency is 46.2% (above the state's 44.9%, below the district's 51.6%) and reading is 50.0% (above the state's 48.6%, below the district's 52.5%). Science is the clearest weakness at 16.0%, below the district's 27.2% and the state's 25.5%; the same-grade eighth-grade comparison is closer at 16.0% vs. 18.3% district and 16.7% state. The school's results vary notably by student group: its strongest rankings are Hispanic students (82nd percentile), White students (76th), and male students (76th), while multi-racial students (31st) and low-income students (42nd) rank lowest, with several groups declining since 2023–24. Free/reduced lunch is 24.22%, stable near 24% for three years, and the student–teacher ratio is 23.8.
