Summary

Woodfield Elementary is a public elementary school located in Waterford, Wisconsin, serving 334 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Waterford Graded J1 School District, which is ranked 112 out of 426 school districts in the state, Woodfield Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodfield Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates in the Forward Exam for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science significantly higher than the state and district averages, especially in 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 71.43% in ELA and 82.14% in Math, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively. The school also performs well for female students, ranking in the top 15-20% of Wisconsin elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the school's performance for male students and special education students is more variable, and its chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated between 8.1% and 19.5% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Big Bend Elementary in the Mukwonago School District and Lakeview Elementary in the Muskego-Norway School District have even higher academic performance and rankings than Woodfield Elementary. However, Woodfield's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 19.52% to 20.77% in recent years, suggests the school is effectively supporting its low socioeconomic status students despite the overall low percentage of such students.
