Woodmere School

Summary:

Woodmere School is an elementary school located in Harvey, Louisiana, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 385. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 72 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Woodmere School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a much higher percentage of African American students (76.88%) than surrounding schools, which range from 24.19% to 65.99% African American. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with 0 or 1 star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance. Woodmere's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels. Its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups all rank in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, suggesting substantial achievement gaps.

While Woodmere School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.24% to 84.02% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Nearby schools, such as Ella C. Pittman Elementary, Shirley Johnson/Gretna Park Elementary, and Paul J. Solis Elementary, generally perform better than Woodmere School on key metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Woodmere may be influenced by socioeconomic factors and educational equity issues that require targeted interventions and support.

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.
