Summary:

Woodbury Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Woodbury, Connecticut, with a student population of 303 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Regional School District 14, which is ranked 76 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodbury Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in SBAC/English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 60.7% of 6th graders, 66.3% of 7th graders, and 55.6% of 8th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 48.1%, 49.5%, and 49.1%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 47.7% to 60.2%, while the state averages were between 38.2% and 41.5%. However, the school has a predominantly white student population (86.47%), which is significantly higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools like City Hill Middle School (43.94% white) and North End Middle School (6.5% white). Additionally, Woodbury Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 17.91% to 24.75% over the past three school years, which is lower than the surrounding schools such as City Hill Middle School (52.76%) and North End Middle School (87.72%).

Woodbury Middle School has a favorable student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 11 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is lower than the ratios of many nearby schools, such as City Hill Middle School (12.7) and North End Middle School (7.5). These factors may contribute to the school's consistent academic performance, which suggests it is providing a high-quality education to its students. However, the significant differences in racial diversity and socioeconomic status between Woodbury Middle School and its nearby counterparts highlight the potential for educational inequities in the region, which warrants further investigation and potential interventions.

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.
