The school is part of the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodland Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 502 to 650 out of 706-710 schools over the past 9 years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA at Woodland Charter School was 9.1%, compared to 37.1% for the district and 40.3% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Woodland Charter School's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby traditional public schools, such as Ft Vannoy Elementary, Williams Elementary, and the schools in the Grants Pass School District 7. These nearby schools generally have higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and more favorable student-teacher ratios compared to Woodland Charter School. The school's consistently low academic performance, despite increased per-student spending and improved student-teacher ratios, indicates that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning.

What people are saying
by a student
Wednesday, April 8, 2015

Open Quote Coming from a student who has attended many schools, but stayed with this one.

This is a very hands on school with a lot of emphasis on art, nature (with gardening classes, "nature studies" and more), and community. Small classes (25 or less students per class) and teachers that continue with the same students ear year, from 1st to 8th grade, make for a comfortable familiar environment.

As of 2015, 8th grade classes are:

Main Lesson (usually sciences or history, all grades have this, split into blocks that rotate every 2-4 weeks)
Math
English Language Arts
Spanish
Gardening
P.E.
Music
Eurythmy
Handwork
Woodshop

Downsides (in my opinion):

No drama classes, although most grades do at lest one play/skit in Main Lesson to perform at some time during the year.

No electives: all classes are required, which makes some, like Music where group participation is required, difficult if not everyone wants to be there.

Sometimes not enough Science is taught, without a class dedicated to just Science, same with History.

Overall however, I like woodland, and having attended many schools, I can without doubt that it is better than a LOT of other choices out there. One last thing: if you or your child has difficulty socialising with their peers, this is a very good school IF they attend EVERY DAY. Close Quote
