Woodville Community Center

Summary:

Woodville Community Center is a public high school in Jackson, Michigan, serving 143 students in grades 9-12. Despite being part of the Western School District, which is ranked 190 out of 606 districts in the state, Woodville Community Center has consistently underperformed compared to nearby schools like Western High School.

Woodville Community Center has struggled with low academic achievement, with its students ranking in the bottom 25% of Michigan high schools over the past decade. The school's student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and those from low-income backgrounds, have also performed poorly, indicating significant achievement gaps. Woodville Community Center has had alarmingly low graduation rates, ranging from 40.9% to 65.3% over the past five years, much lower than the 95.7% rate at Western High School. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 6.1% to 22.8%, and chronic absenteeism rates as high as 63.1%, far exceeding the district and state averages.

The challenges faced by Woodville Community Center are further compounded by its high poverty levels, with 65.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 29.67% at Western High School. The school's low spending per student ($0 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Da Vinci Institute 612 ($11,537) and Jackson High School ($16,519) may be a contributing factor to its underperformance. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Woodville Community Center will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for the students and community it serves.

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.
