Summary

Woodfields Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Greenwood, SC, serving 521 students within the Greenwood 50 school district. The school has earned a 3-star rating and ranks in the top third of elementary schools statewide, a remarkable achievement given that 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Woodfields is a true turnaround story. Just five years ago, the school was rated 1 star and ranked in the bottom quarter of South Carolina elementary schools. Today, it has climbed steadily to the 66th percentile, showing sustained, meaningful improvement. What truly sets Woodfields apart, however, is its exceptional performance with student groups that are often underserved. The school ranks in the top 10-20% statewide for both African American students (92nd percentile) and English Language Learners (89th percentile). Its low-income students also perform notably well, ranking in the 82nd percentile—significantly higher than the school's overall rank. This "inverted equity gap" means Woodfields is particularly effective at helping its most vulnerable students thrive, which is rare and commendable.

The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $18,849 per pupil—among the highest in the district and well above the state average, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1. While Woodfields' overall performance doesn't yet match Hodges Elementary, the district's top-ranked school, it's important to note that Hodges serves a very different population. Woodfields' solid 3-star status while serving a 100% low-income student body is arguably a more challenging feat. Areas for continued focus include chronic absenteeism (21.7%, though in line with district and state averages) and some inconsistency in math proficiency across grade levels. Still, for parents seeking a school that demonstrates genuine commitment to equity and measurable progress, Woodfields is a standout choice.
