Summary

Wooden Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Red Oak, TX, serving 508 students as part of the Red Oak Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional support of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with about 64-67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Despite this challenge, Wooden has maintained a solid 3-star rating for most of the last decade, peaking at 4 stars in the 2021-2022 school year. The school also boasts a lower student-to-teacher ratio (13:1) than many nearby schools, such as Shields Elementary (16.3:1) and Life School Red Oak (23:1), which likely helps its teachers provide more individualized attention.

Wooden Elementary is a top performer in the state for African American students, ranking in the 91st percentile in 2025-2026—a stark contrast to nearby Shields Elementary (37th percentile) and Eastridge Elementary (47th percentile). The school also excels with its low socio-economic status students, ranking in the 82nd percentile, which is significantly higher than its overall rank of 69th percentile. This suggests Wooden is particularly effective at closing achievement gaps. However, the school shows a "Jekyll and Hyde" performance in 5th grade: math scores are exceptional at 70.67% proficient (well above the district's 45.19%), while science scores lag at just 23.4% proficient—a consistent trend that points to a need for curriculum improvement in science.

Another standout strength is Wooden's success with Spanish-speaking English Language Learners in reading. For example, in 4th Grade Reading (STAAR Spanish), the school achieved an incredible 83.33% proficiency, compared to the state average of 33.91%. This success, however, doesn't fully translate to English-language assessments, suggesting a potential area for growth in transitioning literacy skills. For families considering options, the nearby Katherine Johnson Technology Magnet Academy in Desoto Independent School District (Isd) offers higher overall test scores but is a magnet school with selective admission, while Wooden is a traditional neighborhood school serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
