Summary

Woods Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 150 students. The school is part of the Geneva J4 School District, which is ranked 51 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woods Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, with a ranking as high as 106 out of 1,067 schools in 2021-2022. The school's performance on the Forward Exam is exceptional, with students consistently scoring well above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 92.31% of 3rd-grade students at Woods Elementary were proficient or better in ELA and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively.

Woods Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Jackson Elementary, Walworth Elementary, and Star Center Elementary, in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates on the Forward Exam across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which is lower than many of the nearby schools, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. While Woods Elementary excels in many areas, the higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates are a concern and may impact student learning and achievement if not addressed.
