Woodstock School

Q: Is Woodstock School a good school?

Woodstock School ranks 51 st of 290 Maine elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Woodstock School is a small elementary school in Bryant Pond, Maine, serving 61 students in grades K-5. As part of the Regional School Unit 44/Maine School Admin District 44, Woodstock School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong academic performance and a low student-teacher ratio.

Woodstock School's students demonstrate impressive academic achievement, with 78.79% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60.61% proficient or better in Mathematics - significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 51 out of 290 Maine elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year further highlight its strong academic standing, though its ranking has declined from a high of 10th in 2016-2017. Woodstock School's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 students per teacher is also a notable strength compared to nearby schools, which typically have ratios between 9.8 and 11.6 students per teacher.

While Woodstock School outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Crescent Park School and Hartford-Sumner Elementary School, which also demonstrate strong academic performance, the school faces some challenges. Woodstock School has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.3% in 2020-2021 to 52.8% in 2021-2022, which is a significant concern. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 42.62%, higher than the nearby Crescent Park School but lower than some other nearby schools.

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.
