Woodland Hills Elementary

Q: Is Woodland Hills Elementary a good school?

Woodland Hills Elementary ranks 38 th of 301 Idaho elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Woodland Hills Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Ammon, Idaho, serving 532 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement that far exceeds the district and state averages.

Woodland Hills Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math, Science, and English Language Arts that are significantly higher than the Bonneville Joint District and the state of Idaho. For example, in 2023-2024, 71.6% of Woodland Hills students were proficient or better in ISAT Math, compared to just 41.6% for the district and 42.2% for the state. This academic excellence is particularly noteworthy given the school's relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with only 6.61% to 10.9% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which range from 27.6% to 63.4%.

Woodland Hills Elementary also stands out for its demographic differences compared to nearby schools. The school has a predominantly white student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white, in contrast to the more diverse student populations of the surrounding schools, which range from 65% to 78% white students. Additionally, Woodland Hills has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.2% to 16.0%, compared to the higher rates of 13.6% to 26.0% at the nearby Idaho Falls District schools. These factors may contribute to the school's academic success and overall learning environment.

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.
