Wood Elementary consistently performs above the state and district averages in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts.

The Waynesville R-VI school district is home to several other high-performing elementary schools, such as Thayer Elementary and Partridge Elementary, which could provide opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices.
