Summary

Woodland Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 458 students in the North Thurston Public Schools district in Lacey, WA, performing at an average level within its district and showing particular strength in mathematics.

The school's standout area is math, where student proficiency consistently beats both the district and state averages, a real strength compared to many nearby schools. However, this success isn't uniform across all grades, as there is a notable drop in math scores by 5th grade that the school will need to address. Performance in other subjects like English and science is more mixed, with science scores showing significant ups and downs from year to year. The school does an excellent job supporting some groups of students, including Hispanic students and those from military families, but faces significant challenges in helping its special education students reach similar levels of achievement.

When compared to its closest neighbors, Woodland presents an interesting picture. It performs better than schools with higher levels of economic need, like Lydia Hawk Elementary and Mountain View Elementary, but lags behind schools with very similar student demographics, such as Lakes Elementary School, which is less than a mile and a half away. This suggests there may be opportunities for Woodland to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in its own community. Overall, Woodland is a solid, average-performing school within its district that has clear strengths to build upon and specific challenges to target for improvement.
