Woodland Elementary/Junior High School has consistently low academic performance compared to the state average, with only 15.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22.7% proficient in Mathematics, far below the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in the lower grades, with only 8.3% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 20.8% proficient in Math. However, the school's 8th-grade performance is relatively stronger, with 32.4% proficient in ELA and 29.4% in Math. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.4% in 2019-2020 to 16.9% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Centennial Elementary School, Kimes Elementary School, and Grand Ridge School, Woodland Elementary/Junior High School's academic performance is generally lower, with the nearby schools having significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $22,106 in 2022-2023, these resources do not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students.

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.
