Woodworth Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics lagging behind by 5-12 percentage points. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 299 out of 612 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 383 out of 628 in 2024-2025.
