Woodland Middle School

Summary:

Woodland Middle School is a public middle school located in Taylor Mill, Kentucky, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 616 students. The school is part of the Kenton County School District, which is ranked 15th out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Woodland Middle School has seen a fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 53rd to 189th out of Kentucky's middle schools. In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 71st out of 324 Kentucky middle schools and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state average in reading proficiency across all grade levels, but its performance in mathematics is mixed, with 8th-grade proficiency falling below the state average. Woodland Middle School's performance for students with disabilities is an area of concern, ranking 185th out of 226 Kentucky middle schools in the 2018-2019 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Woodland Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than Twenhofel Middle School and Turkey Foot Middle School, which are also part of the Kenton County School District. However, the school lags behind the highly-ranked Highlands Middle School in the Fort Thomas Independent School District. Woodland Middle School's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its higher spending per student, suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some of the nearby schools.

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.
