Woodward Leadership Academy

Summary:

Woodward Leadership Academy is a small public charter elementary school in San Bernardino, CA, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 84 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 1-2% of California elementary schools, with extremely low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas.

On the 2023-2024 Smarter Balanced Assessments, only 6.98% of Woodward Leadership Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school's performance on the California Science Test was even worse, with 0% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better. Woodward Leadership Academy also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 16.7% in 2022-2023. Interestingly, nearby Bradley Elementary and Captain Leland Norton Elementary, which serve similar low-income communities in the San Bernardino City Unified district, are able to achieve significantly better academic outcomes.

The challenges faced by Woodward Leadership Academy do not appear to be solely due to socioeconomic factors, as the nearby schools in the district also serve predominantly low-income populations. The high chronic absenteeism rates across the area suggest that this is a broader issue that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and engagement at Woodward Leadership Academy and other schools in the San Bernardino community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
