Summary

Woods Elementary in Tyler, TX, is a large PK-5 school serving 810 students in the Tyler Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years. This high-performing school significantly outperforms both its district and the state on STAAR exams across nearly every subject and grade level, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher than the district average. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency reached 73.91% in 2025-2026, compared to the district's 50.96% and the state's 49.28%, showcasing a strong academic foundation that sets it apart from many nearby schools.

Woods Elementary stands out in its neighborhood as a top-tier option, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide. While it shares the spotlight with Birdwell School (98th percentile) and Caldwell Arts Academy (84th percentile), it is a clear contrast to schools like Clarkston Elementary (20th percentile), Peete Elementary (12th percentile), and Bell Elementary (38th percentile), which rank in the bottom half of the state. The school serves a more economically advantaged population, with only 41.85% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, compared to over 90% at many neighboring schools. This economic profile is a key factor in its performance, though it is worth noting that Birdwell achieves even higher rankings despite a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (68.66%), suggesting different paths to success.

While Woods excels in reading and math, 5th-grade science scores are a relative weak point, with only 39.23% proficient in 2024-2025—still above the district (29.22%) and state (29.57%), but an area for potential growth. The school is particularly effective for its White students (92nd percentile) and Special Education students (93rd percentile), but struggles with Multi-racial students (48th percentile), indicating uneven support across groups. For parents, Woods offers a strong, consistent academic environment with a competitive edge, especially when compared to the high-performing magnet option at Caldwell Arts Academy, which may draw some families away. Overall, it is a reliable choice for families seeking a top-ranked elementary school in the Tyler area.
