Summary

Woodside Elementary is a PK–5 school in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, serving 354 students as part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District, which ranks 316th of 432 districts in the state.

Parents will find a school with a clear strength and a clear challenge. Attendance is Woodside's standout: its chronic absenteeism rate of 7.1% in 2024–2025 is far below the district (18.4%) and state (17.3%), and only Grant Elementary (7.1%) ties it among nearby schools, with Washington Elementary (6.4%) and Port Edwards Educational Heuer Elementary School (5.9%) slightly lower. Most other nearby schools are much higher, including THINK Academy-Together Helping INspire Kids (18.1%), Howe Elementary (13.8%), Mead Elementary (18.4%), Grove Elementary (17.7%), Roosevelt Elementary (15.0%) and Humke Elementary (17.6%). Yet academics lag. In 2025–2026, Woodside ranked 682nd of 1,039 schools (34th percentile, 2 stars), up from 766th (27th percentile) the prior year but below its 2023–2024 rank of 519th (51st percentile) and far below its 2015–2016 rank of 196th (82nd percentile).

Test scores in 2025–2026 were below district and state in most areas. Math was below benchmarks at every grade (3rd 50%, 4th 47.37%, 5th 48.89%), and 4th grade social studies (47.37%) trailed the district by about 16 points and the state by about 18. ELA was uneven: 4th grade (56.14%) beat district and state, while 3rd (39.02%) and 5th (46.67%) fell short. Woodside trails same-district peers such as Grant (81st percentile), Washington (66), THINK (63) and Howe (56), though it outperforms Mead Elementary, Grove Elementary and Central Oaks Academy. Its free/reduced lunch rate (40.4%) is lower than most same-district peers, yet scores trail several of them. Low-income and special education students ranked around the 25th percentile in 2025–2026 (low-income fell to the 6th percentile in 2024–2025). Per-student spending is $14,561 with a 13.5 student–teacher ratio.
