Summary:
The Woodland CUSD 5 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Woodland Elementary/Junior High School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 299 students. The school's academic performance is consistently below state averages, with proficiency rates of just 15.5% in ELA and 22.7% in Math for the 2023-2024 school year, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4% respectively.
Woodland Elementary/Junior High School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.9% and a large percentage of students (38.13%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, the school has struggled to translate this potential advantage into stronger academic outcomes for its students.
Overall, the data suggests that Woodland CUSD 5 and its lone elementary school have work to do in order to improve student learning and achievement. The district and school leadership will need to carefully analyze the root causes of the school's academic struggles and implement targeted interventions and strategies to drive improvement across key performance metrics.
