Summary:
The Woodland CUSD 5 school district in Illinois has only one high school, Woodland High School. While the school has a decent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, going from 254th out of 697 high schools in 2023-2024 to 378th out of 699 in 2022-2023 and 405th out of 699 in 2021-2022.
Woodland High School's academic performance is generally below the state averages, with test scores in math and English language arts on the SAT being lower than the state's. However, the school's science proficiency on the ISA is slightly above the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school spends $25,963 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, despite its relatively low academic performance.
Overall, Woodland CUSD 5 appears to have a single high school that is struggling to keep up with its peers in the state. While the school has some areas of strength, such as its slightly above-average science proficiency, it faces challenges in terms of declining statewide ranking, below-average test scores, and high chronic absenteeism. The district's high spending per student may be an area worth further investigation to ensure resources are being used effectively to support student learning and achievement.
