Summary

Woodside Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school is part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District, which is ranked 333 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodside Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 120th out of 1,076 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 766th out of 1,044 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. Its current rating is 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school faces several challenges, including lower student performance on standardized assessments, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While Woodside's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are relatively favorable, these factors alone do not appear to be driving improved academic outcomes.

Interestingly, Woodside Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby THINK Academy-Together Helping INspire Kids and Grant Elementary, which are also part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District. However, Woodside's performance is generally better than the more distant Humke Elementary (Nekoosa School District) and Port Edwards Educational Heuer Elementary School (Port Edwards School District).
