Woodland EL Sch

Woodland Elementary School serves 308 students in grades kindergarten through sixth in Emporium, Pennsylvania. As a regular public school, it earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with an academic subscore of 9.2 and a growth score of 9.5. Those numbers position Woodland among the strongest public schools in Pennsylvania.

It ranks 49th of 2,842 public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of Pennsylvania schools — a result earned within a competitive statewide field, not a small comparison pool. Among elementary schools specifically, Woodland places 41st out of 1,625 across Pennsylvania, making it a top-tier performer at every cut of the data. The growth score of 9.5 is the most telling single figure.

Growth measures year-over-year student advancement independent of where students start — it's a direct read on instructional effectiveness rather than incoming demographics. At 308 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1, Woodland operates at a scale where individual progress is trackable and classroom instruction can be responsive. For families in and around Emporium, those growth and academic scores put Woodland in a category that few elementary schools in Pennsylvania can match.

Located in a rural area, Woodland EL Sch may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
