History

Woodbrook Elementary was built in 1966 in the heart of urban Albemarle County. Woodbrook has an extremely diverse student body and was awarded Virginia Board of Education's Excellence Award in 2008 and 2009. Woodbrook was named a Distinguished Title I School for 2007 and 2008.[citation needed] Woodbrook was designated as a Title I Focus School in 2016 after failing to meet performance benchmarks for state Standards of Learning assessments.[3]

Description from 2019 State of the Division Annual Report

"Located in the urban ring of Albemarle County, Woodbrook Elementary is a beautifully updated facility that doubled in size during the 2018-19 school year and went from serving approximately 350 to about 580 diverse students. With this change in size came a paradigm shift in Woodbrook’s instructional model. The newly designed space includes open classrooms where teachers and students can learn and grow together in multi-age settings. Woodbrook is a neighborhood school that thrives on community partnerships to support each child in their academic and social and emotional growth—working together to instill a lifelong love for learning."
