Woodridge Elementary

Summary:

Woodridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Hyattsville, Maryland, serving around 300 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodridge Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 500-700 out of around 850 schools. The school's performance on state assessments (MCAP) is significantly below the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.2% of Woodridge students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.8% in the district. In English language arts, Woodridge's proficiency rate was 22.7%, compared to 48.4% statewide and 36.1% in the district. The school also has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (around 85%) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) compared to the surrounding schools.

Despite spending more per student ($18,793 in 2020-2021) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 11 students per teacher, Woodridge Elementary continues to struggle academically. The nearby Glenarden Woods Elementary and Gladys Noon Spellman Elementary have significantly higher academic performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates well above the state and district averages. These higher-performing schools have more diverse student populations, with a lower percentage of Hispanic and low-income students compared to Woodridge Elementary, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
