Woodlan Elementary School consistently outperforms the East Allen County Schools district and the state of Indiana in academic proficiency, with 50.44% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 51.6% proficient or better in ILEARN/Math, compared to 40.01% and 35.21% for the district, respectively. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with 88.68% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the racial diversity of the surrounding schools in the Fort Wayne Community Schools district. Woodlan Elementary School has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 19.3% in 2021-2022 to 16.7% in 2022-2023, though this rate is still higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 41.17% in the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, Woodlan Elementary School consistently outperforms the other schools in the East Allen County Schools district, as well as many of the schools in the Fort Wayne Community Schools district, in terms of academic proficiency. However, the school's racial homogeneity and higher chronic absenteeism rate suggest areas for improvement, while the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students indicates a need for additional support and resources. Overall, Woodlan Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school within its district, but may need to address issues of equity and inclusion, as well as chronic absenteeism and the needs of its economically disadvantaged students, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
