Douglass Middle

Summary:

Douglass Middle is a public middle school located in Woodland, California, serving 808 students in grades 7-8. It is part of the Woodland Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 997 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Douglass Middle faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. On the Smarter Balanced Assessments, only 43.5% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 26.56% were proficient or better in Mathematics, both below the district and state levels. The school's performance on the California Science Assessment is also below average, with only 16.02% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. Douglass Middle's student subgroups, particularly English Language Learners and Special Education students, perform in the bottom 25% of California middle schools. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.2% to 26.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

However, Douglass Middle's performance is generally better than some nearby schools, such as John Knight Middle in Dixon Unified and Natomas Middle in Natomas Unified, which have lower academic proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The school's challenges, including its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve overall student success.

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.
