Summary

Woodlake Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 campus within the Judson Independent School District (Isd) serving 639 students, with 85.76% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty area.

Woodlake Elementary is currently in a state of significant academic distress, with a state ranking that has fallen from the 32nd percentile in 2018-2019 to the 2nd percentile in 2025-2026, making it one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas. Its performance on STAAR exams is critically low across all subjects, with mathematics being a particular weakness—only 8.05% of 4th graders and 11.46% of 3rd graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, roughly 25-30 percentage points below the state average. The school also ranks in the 1st percentile statewide for serving low socio-economic status students, indicating it is not effectively closing the achievement gap. A stark comparison can be made with William Paschall Elementary, located just 0.63 miles away, which serves a similar demographic but performs significantly better, with 47.37% of 4th graders proficient in math compared to Woodlake's 8.05%. This suggests that Woodlake's challenges are likely school-specific, such as leadership or curriculum issues, rather than solely due to neighborhood demographics.

Despite the overall dismal performance, there is a relative strength with English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 41st percentile in 2022-2023, suggesting the ESL/bilingual programs may be a bright spot. However, 5th-grade science scores are catastrophically low, with only 3% proficient in 2024-2025, the lowest among nearby schools. Interestingly, per-student spending at Woodlake ($9,274) is on par with or higher than better-performing peers like James L Masters ($8,558), indicating that funding is not the issue but rather how resources are utilized. The school's consistent decline over the past decade points to systemic problems that parents should carefully consider when evaluating educational options.
