Summary

Woodland Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Lees Summit, Missouri, serving 419 students in grades K-5. Part of the Lee's Summit R-VII School District, Woodland Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong academic achievement and low chronic absenteeism rates.

Woodland Elementary's students excel on state assessments, significantly outperforming the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 60.1% of Woodland's 3rd-graders scored proficient or better in math, compared to 47.7% for the Lee's Summit district and 41.4% for Missouri. The school's sustained high performance over the years suggests it has effective teaching practices, strong leadership, and a supportive community. When compared to other elementary schools in the district, Woodland stands out as a top performer, with its 3rd-grade math scores far exceeding those of Lee's Summit Elementary and Mason Elementary.

One factor that may contribute to Woodland Elementary's academic success is its relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 18.38% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance is still impressive, even when considering this factor, as it outperforms many schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Woodland Elementary's consistent high rankings, low chronic absenteeism, and strong academic achievement make it a standout elementary school in the Lee's Summit area.
