This is my son's 4th year. We've been there since PK. The staff is young and enthusiastic, providing resources all around to challenge his academics when needed. They encourage and accept all kinds of parental involvement no matter how little or how much. I have no other elementary school experience to compare it to, but I'm happy thus far. Close Quote

Amazing school and staff! So exciting that Woodland is STEM certified! I love how the teachers incorporate the engineering design process into all subject areas including PE, Art and Music. Great after school programs for the students as well, in the area of science, technology, engineering and math. Close Quote

I have my daughter going to this school for the last 2 years and is definitely very good. Even the technology use and skill development and PTA are excellent. 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.
