Summary

Woodland Elementary is a PK–4 public school serving 324 students in Barron, Wisconsin, part of the Barron Area School District in rural northwestern Wisconsin. Its 2025–2026 statewide elementary rank is 553 of 1,039 — the 47th percentile with 2 stars — a big jump from 2024–2025, when it ranked 822 of 1,044 (21st percentile, 1 star). That is well above its district, which ranks 392 of 432 in Wisconsin (9th percentile, 0 stars), and far above same-district Ridgeland-Dallas Elementary (8th percentile, 0 stars).

About 64.81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools — Cameron Elementary (36.34%), Hilltop Elementary (41.43%), Prairie Farm Elementary (41.60%) and Turtle Lake Elementary (47.44%) are all lower. Per-student spending is $18,763, near the top of the local group, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.8. Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 7.2%, compared with 10.9% district-wide and 17.3% statewide — less than half the state rate.

Test results split sharply by grade: 3rd grade is above both district and state, with 63.79% proficient in ELA and 70.69% in math — the highest 3rd-grade math result among the larger nearby schools. Fourth grade, though, trails the state in ELA (47.06%), math (47.06%), social studies (52.94%) and science (50.98%), with social studies 12.57 points behind; Cameron Elementary, Cumberland Elementary and others score higher in 4th grade. Subgroup results improved dramatically, with low-income students rising from the 27th to the 75th percentile (4 stars) and special education students from the 19th to the 70th (4 stars), while male students remain at the 30th percentile. Overall, Woodland is clearly stronger than Ridgeland-Dallas Elementary and Tainter Elementary, but has not yet caught higher-ranked neighbors such as Cameron Elementary, Cumberland Elementary, Haugen Elementary and Hilltop Elementary.
