Summary:
The Woodland Star Charter District in California has only one elementary school, Woodland Star Charter, which serves grades K-8 with an enrollment of 220 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher proficiency rates in 4th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Mathematics, it also faces several challenges that may be impacting its overall academic performance and student outcomes.
Woodland Star Charter's proficiency rates on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are generally below the state average, with the school's overall English Language Arts proficiency rate for the end-of-course exam at 45.19% compared to the state average of 47.04%. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate is higher than the state average, at 44.53% compared to 35.54%. The school's Science proficiency rate is also above the state average, at 34.15% compared to 30.7%. Additionally, Woodland Star Charter has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
While Woodland Star Charter has some areas of strength, the inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rate, suggest that the school may have room for improvement in ensuring consistent and high-quality instruction, addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, and supporting the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which makes up 40.45% of the school's enrollment.
