Summary

Hall-Woodward Elementary is a public elementary school in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, serving 586 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, which is ranked 159 out of 242 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a larger school district, Hall-Woodward Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past several years, with significantly lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates on state standardized tests are particularly low in reading, ranging from 23.2% to 30% in 2024-2025, compared to 45-56% for the district and 47-58% for the state. The school's per-student spending is slightly below the district average, but its student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 12.5 to 13 students per teacher.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, such as Ashley Academy, Union Cross Traditional Academy, and Sedge Garden Elementary, generally perform better than Hall-Woodward Elementary on academic measures. However, these nearby schools also have high percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, similar to Hall-Woodward. The stark contrast in performance between Hall-Woodward Elementary and the high-performing Downtown School, a public magnet school in the district, suggests that factors such as school leadership, teaching quality, and educational approaches may play a crucial role in student outcomes.
