Summary:
The Woden Independent School District (Woden Independent School District (Isd)) in Woden, Texas, serves 885 students across three public schools: Woden Elementary (PK-5), Woden J H (6-8), and Woden High School (9-12), with the district earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 76th percentile statewide.
Woden High School stands out as the district's flagship, boasting a 98.1% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and strong humanities scores—particularly in U.S. History (89.13% proficient) and English II Reading (76.6% proficient). It also receives the highest per-student funding at $12,930, despite having the lowest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (57.73%). In contrast, Woden Elementary serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (67.09%) but receives less funding ($10,403 per student). However, the elementary school has shown a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 36th percentile (2 stars) to the 61st percentile (3 stars) in just two years, with strong early-grade math scores (3rd grade: 61.67% vs. state 44.33%). Woden J H is a consistent 4-star performer, excelling in advanced math—8th graders taking Algebra I achieved a 90% proficiency rate.
A key takeaway is the district's "Algebra I Pipeline" success: while middle school top-tier students excel, overall high school Algebra I proficiency drops to 59.65%, indicating a need to support all students. Science is a consistent weakness across all schools, with 5th-grade Science at 31.51% proficient and 8th-grade Science at 56.45% proficient. The district also shows a spending disparity, with the highest-need elementary school receiving less funding than the high school. With favorable student-teacher ratios averaging 11.4:1, the district offers strong potential, but parents should note the uneven academic strengths and resource allocation when choosing a school.
