Woodridge Elementary School

Summary:

Woodridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stone Mountain, Georgia, serving 475 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 138 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodridge Elementary consistently performs below the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment, with only 17.9% of 3rd graders, 20.5% of 4th graders, and 21.8% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 31.6%, 30.5%, and 40.8% for the county, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for several years, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Woodridge has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.26% to 99.11%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Allgood Elementary School, which is just 2.64 miles away, Woodridge consistently underperforms in all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that Woodridge Elementary may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed, despite the school's per-student spending being higher than the state average. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and lack of improvement over the years indicates that Woodridge Elementary School requires targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

My child hates this school. They are not teaching these children the basic like they should. This is setting our children up for failure. When your child is having a hard time in school, they,re quick to label them. This isn,t fair at all. I want my child out of this school. She hates this school. Close Quote

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.
