Wood View Elementary School

Summary:

Wood View Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bolingbrook, Illinois, serving around 450 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Valley View CUSD 365U district, which is ranked 385 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wood View Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $19,956, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math on the IAR assessments, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 31.5%, compared to 45.4% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16% in 2020-2021 to 31.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Wood View Elementary to other nearby schools within the same district, such as Independence Elementary and Jamie McGee Elementary, the performance gap is significant, with these schools consistently outperforming Wood View Elementary in academic assessments and having lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's relatively strong performance for African American and English Language Learner students indicates that it may have effective strategies or programs in place to support these student populations.

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.
