Woodland Acres Elementary School

Summary:

Woodland Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 534 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodland Acres stands out from nearby schools like Holiday Hill Elementary, Arlington Heights Elementary, and Southside Estates Elementary in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American (43.82%) and Hispanic (25.28%) students, consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (44.1% to 62.1%), and significantly lower academic performance on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29% of 3rd graders, 17% of 4th graders, and 23% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49% and 55% at the district and state levels, respectively. Additionally, Woodland Acres has a very high percentage of students (70.41% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $9,962 in the 2022-2023 school year, Woodland Acres has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively targeted or utilized to address the specific needs of the student population, and that addressing the underlying issues of poverty and chronic absenteeism could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Woodland Acres Elementary School.

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.
