Summary

Woodruff Elementary in Woodruff, SC, serves 640 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Spartanburg 04 school district, holding a steady 3-star state rating and ranking near the 62nd percentile statewide for the past three years. The school serves a community where nearly 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it spends about $11,362 per student—less than several nearby schools while still delivering consistent, mid-tier results.

Woodruff’s standout strength is 4th-grade math, where 67.1% of students scored proficient in the most recent year, outpacing the state average by nearly 15 points. This pattern has held for three straight years, suggesting a well-targeted math program at that grade level. However, 5th-grade math tells a different story: only 46.6% of students were proficient, below the state average, and this subject has lagged for three consecutive years. A similar, though less dramatic, dip appears in English Language Arts, with 4th graders at 68.9% proficiency versus 62.1% in 5th grade. This “4th-grade peak” suggests a possible challenge in transitioning students to more advanced concepts in their final year at the school.

Compared to nearby options, Woodruff sits in a competitive landscape. It outperforms Roebuck Elementary (41st percentile) and Gray Court-Owings Elementary/Middle (31st percentile), but trails higher-performing neighbors like River Ridge Elementary and Reidville Elementary, both in the 86th percentile. The school does particularly well with Hispanic students, who rank in the 61st percentile statewide, but struggles with support for disabled students, whose ranking has dropped from the 48th to the 22nd percentile over three years. Chronic absenteeism has also risen to 20%, up from 15.8% the prior year, a trend worth watching as the school works to maintain its solid, steady reputation.
