Dr Carter G Woodson K-8 School

Summary:

Dr Carter G Woodson K-8 School is a public elementary and middle school located in Tampa, Florida, serving 1,023 students in grades PK-8. The school has a predominantly minority student population, with 46.53% African American and 42.91% Hispanic students.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $9,703, it faces significant challenges. The school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 50.6%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Sulphur Springs K-8 School and New Springs Schools. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 15% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 51% in Hillsborough and 55% statewide.

The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 2,130 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 2,204 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. The high chronic absenteeism rate and the school's low-income student population, with 77.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance. Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby schools could be key to improving student outcomes at Dr Carter G Woodson K-8 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.
