Woodland Avenue School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with 72.97% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 54.68% and 54.15% for the district, respectively, and 61.86% and 59.7% for the state. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 56.25% also exceeds the district and state averages. Woodland Avenue School's strong performance extends to its Hispanic and low-income student groups, ranking in the top 40% and 30% of New York elementary schools, respectively.

While Woodland Avenue School's academic achievements are impressive, it faces competition from the high-performing schools in the neighboring Syosset Central School District and Jericho Union Free School District, such as Willits Elementary School and George A. Jackson School. These schools consistently outperform Woodland Avenue School in academic proficiency, likely due to their higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios.
