Woodcrest Elementary

Summary:

Woodcrest Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 595 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodcrest Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 17.6% in 2017-2018 to 41.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Los Angeles Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.43% of Woodcrest students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's subgroup performance is also a concern, with several groups ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, including English Language Learners, Disabled Students, and Low Socioeconomic Status Students.

Compared to nearby schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District, such as Figueroa Street Elementary, Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary, and Charles W. Barrett Elementary, Woodcrest Elementary's performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools tending to have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better rankings. Addressing the challenges at Woodcrest Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to support the unique needs of the school's student population and 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.
