Woodworth-Monroe Tk-8 Academy

Summary:

Woodworth-Monroe Tk-8 Academy is a public elementary school located in Inglewood, California, serving 621 students in grades K-8. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 5621 out of 5862 schools in the state.

One of the key factors contributing to Woodworth-Monroe's poor performance is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 59.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, which range from 20.8% to 62.6%. Academically, Woodworth-Monroe students perform significantly below state and Inglewood Unified district averages on standardized tests, with only 17.82% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 10.36% in Mathematics, compared to 29.16% and 16.66% in the district, respectively. The school's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, also perform significantly below state and district averages.

While the nearby schools, such as Kelso (William H.) Elementary, Kornblum, and Worthington Tk-6 Elementary, also serve predominantly low-income student populations, they generally outperform Woodworth-Monroe Tk-8 Academy on key metrics, suggesting that there may be successful practices or strategies being implemented at these schools that could be replicated or adapted to benefit Woodworth-Monroe Tk-8 Academy.

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.
