Summary

Woodridge Elementary is a K-4 public school in the Desoto Independent School District (Isd), serving 362 students in Desoto, TX, and is currently in the midst of a powerful turnaround after a decade of underperformance. The most recent data shows the school has jumped to the 44th percentile statewide—its highest ranking in over ten years—marking a dramatic break from its past struggles. This explosive growth sets it apart from nearby peers like The Meadows Elementary and Frank D Moates Elementary, which remain in the bottom 2-6% of the state, and even the district's magnet school, Katherine Johnson Technology Magnet Academy, which did not show the same magnitude of year-over-year improvement.

Woodridge has established a clear strength in mathematics, with 4th graders scoring 59.1% proficient in 2025-2026, significantly outpacing the state average of 49.3% and far exceeding scores at The Meadows Elementary (23.2%) and Frank D Moates Elementary (22.9%). The school also ranks in the 80th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with low socio-economic status students, outperforming schools like Belt Line Elementary and Rolling Hills Elementary that serve similar demographics. However, a sharp drop-off in 5th-grade math proficiency (24.4% vs. state average of 47.4%) signals a critical area for focus, and the school struggles to challenge its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom 11th percentile for that subgroup.

This is a neighborhood school achieving impressive results while serving a more disadvantaged population than the district's magnet option, suggesting its improvement stems from effective school-wide practices rather than demographic changes. The primary challenges ahead will be sustaining this momentum, addressing the 5th-grade math cliff, and finding ways to better serve its highest-achieving learners. For parents, Woodridge represents a school on the rise with a proven ability to drive exceptional outcomes, particularly in math and for students from low-income backgrounds.
