Woodside Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, with particularly strong performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates exceeded the state averages in all subjects and grade levels, with impressive results in 3rd grade English Language Arts (78.26% proficient or better vs. 52.14% statewide) and 3rd grade Mathematics (80.87% proficient or better vs. 55% statewide).

Woodside Elementary is surrounded by other high-performing schools within the Hamilton School District, such as Marcy Elementary and Lannon Elementary.
