Summary:
Woodland School District serves the Woodland, Washington area through seven schools—three elementary schools, one middle school, two high-school programs, and one alternative school—covering students from elementary grades through high school. The schools enroll about 2,429 students, ranging from 43 students at Lewis River Academy to 739 at Woodland Middle School. Overall, the district ranks in the 61st percentile statewide and has a three-star rating, with noticeable differences among individual schools.
North Fork Elementary School is the district’s strongest overall academic performer, ranking in the 72nd percentile with a four-star rating. It leads the district in both reported ELA and math proficiency, especially math at 58.74%. Woodland Middle School also stands out for science, where 60% of students were proficient, and its ranking improved substantially. Woodland High School improved to the 60th percentile and reported an 89.4% graduation rate, above both district and state averages. Its main concern is math, with only 29.33% proficiency. Columbia Elementary School has improved considerably over several years and performs better in math than in ELA, although literacy remains an important focus.
The greatest academic needs are concentrated in math and in the alternative programs. Woodland Alternative School has the lowest reported ranking and low ELA and math proficiency, while its graduation rate is below the district and state averages. Lewis River Academy shows stronger ELA and science results but notably weak math performance. Yale Elementary is very small, and its current achievement results are suppressed, so firm academic conclusions are not possible. Families comparing schools should consider both test results and each program’s size and purpose. Key district priorities are improving math readiness—especially by eighth grade—supporting Columbia’s ELA growth, and reviewing staffing and student-support conditions in the alternative programs.
