General Information

Major rail service, river transportation, shipping facilities and immediate access to Interstate 5, position the district for continued growth.

Population: The district serves about 2,200 students.

Mission:  Woodland School District values the uniqueness and diversity of each child and believes all students can learn within a safe, caring environment of staff and community. It is the responsibility of the Woodland School District to provide an equal and quality education. The district will seek to develop in its students an understanding of the importance of hard work and how performance, effort and decisions directly affect educational and career opportunities. To this end, the district will promote academic excellence by challenging each student to develop the knowledge, skills and self-worth necessary to become a responsible contributing citizen.
