Woodside Elementary

Q: Is Woodside Elementary a good school?

Woodside Elementary ranks 620 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Woodside Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving 336 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in Maryland.

Woodside Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (44.64%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 16.48% to 33.14%. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools and performing significantly lower than the district and state averages on MCAP assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.2% of Woodside students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 27.6% in the district and 24.1% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.61% to 78.27% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

Despite the school's low academic performance, Woodside Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.5 to 6.1 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby schools, such as Point Pleasant Elementary and Quarterfield Elementary, which have ratios ranging from 10.0 to 14.8 students per teacher. This suggests that the school may be allocating resources towards smaller class sizes, but the impact on student achievement is not evident in the available data.

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.
