Summary

Woodland Elementary School is a K-4 elementary school in Oak Ridge, TN, serving 426 students and part of Oak Ridge Schools, a district ranked 14th out of 141 in Tennessee with a 5-star rating. The school has been a reliable 4-star performer, but its state ranking has drifted downward over the past five years—from 123rd (88th percentile) in 2021-2022 to 255th (75th percentile) in 2025-2026. It remains a solid school, but it is no longer the top-tier performer it once was compared with nearby schools.

Woodland still beats state averages in all three tested subjects. In math, 59.6% of students are proficient versus 43.0% statewide; in ELA, 53.9% versus 40.6%; and in science, 51.6% versus 46.9%. However, several neighboring schools post stronger results. Linden Elementary School and Glenwood Elementary School outperform Woodland in math, ELA, and science, and Hardin Valley Elementary School does so while spending roughly $3,600 less per student. A deeper look at grade-level data shows Woodland's 3rd and 4th grade scores are actually below Oak Ridge district averages in every subject. Science is the most urgent concern, with proficiency dropping from 63.8% to 51.6% in just one year.

Attendance is Woodland's standout strength—just 9.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, compared with 16.6% for the district and 18.3% statewide. The school spends about $16,300 per student, but higher spending hasn't produced higher rankings than nearby schools. Woodland serves students in special education especially well, ranking in the 79th-80th percentile statewide. However, economically disadvantaged students and students identifying as African American or Hispanic have recently scored below the school's overall average, suggesting the school could benefit from targeted support to close achievement gaps while building on its attendance strengths.
