Woodland Elementary School

Q: Is Woodland Elementary School a good school?

Woodland Elementary School ranks 372 nd of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Woodland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lafayette, Indiana, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Tippecanoe School Corp, which is ranked 84 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating.

Woodland Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the Tippecanoe School Corporation and the state of Indiana averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (39.34%) and Math (58.09%) for all grades are below the Tippecanoe School Corporation's averages (46.68% and 47.22%, respectively). The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (12.1%) compared to nearby Dayton Elementary School (6.5%) and Wyandotte Elementary (5.9%). Additionally, Woodland Elementary has a higher percentage of students (57.52%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for socioeconomic status, compared to Dayton Elementary (42.44%) and Wyandotte Elementary (32.3%).

The lower academic performance, higher chronic absenteeism rates, and higher percentage of students from low-income families at Woodland Elementary School suggest that the school may face unique challenges compared to the nearby schools in the Tippecanoe School Corporation. Research has shown that socioeconomic status and chronic absenteeism can have a significant impact on student academic achievement, and schools with higher concentrations of low-income students often face additional obstacles. Targeted interventions and support systems may be needed to address these issues and improve student outcomes at Woodland Elementary School.

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.
