Q: Is Woodmore Elementary a good school?

Woodmore Elementary ranks 315 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Woodmore Elementary is a public elementary school in Bowie, Maryland, serving 451 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among African American and low-income students, but also has room for improvement in supporting its female and male student populations.

Woodmore Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (81.37%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 50.27% to 92.66% African American. The school outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grades, with 46.3% of 3rd graders proficient in Mathematics compared to 21.5% for the district and 40% for the state. Woodmore also ranks in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools for its population of low socioeconomic status students, earning a 4-star rating in this category.

While Woodmore Elementary's overall performance is commendable, the school ranks in the bottom 50% of Maryland elementary schools for its female and male student populations, with a 2-star rating in both categories. In contrast, Heather Hills Elementary, a nearby public magnet school, significantly outperforms Woodmore and the district/state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. This suggests that Woodmore may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the lower performance of its female and male student populations.

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.
