Summary
Woodland Middle School is a public school serving grades 5–8 in Woodland, Washington, with 739 students and a moderately mixed economic profile. Part of the Woodland School District, it ranks 164th out of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 68th percentile statewide. That is an improvement from 223rd out of 534 schools in 2024–2025 and places the school in the upper third statewide. About 49.8% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio was 20.8, up from 17.3 in 2022–2023, so class-size pressure is worth monitoring.
Science is the school’s clearest academic strength: 60.0% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 50.95% statewide. ELA proficiency was 53.92%, slightly above the state’s 52.81%, while math proficiency was 45.03%, also above the state’s 43.11%. Math has improved over time, but 8th-grade math remains the main academic opportunity, with 35.95% proficiency—below the statewide 8th-grade rate of 38.8%. Sixth-grade math was much stronger at 52.05%, while 6th-grade ELA was comparatively weaker at 48.28%. Science results have remained generally strong across several years, suggesting a sustained strength rather than a one-year spike.
Locally, Woodland generally outperforms similarly ranked Amboy Middle School and Pleasant Valley Middle in all three subjects, and it outperformed La Center Middle School despite La Center’s stronger district ranking. The top nearby performers, View Ridge Middle School and Alki Middle School, have higher ELA and math results, although Woodland’s science score exceeded Alki’s. Subgroup data show especially strong relative performance for low-income students, while special education outcomes are closer to the statewide middle. Overall, Woodland appears to be a solid, improving school with broad above-state achievement, standout science results, and clear priorities in later-grade math, 6th-grade ELA, special education support, and maintaining individual attention as enrollment pressures grow.
