Woodbury Elementary

Summary:

Woodbury Elementary is a public elementary school in Woodbury, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the South Washington County Schools district. The school has seen a shift in its student population, with a growing diversity and an increase in the percentage of students from low-income families.

Woodbury Elementary's overall academic performance on the MCA-III assessments is below the district and state averages in both math and reading. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, is relatively stronger compared to the state averages for those subgroups. For instance, in the 2022-2023 school year, Woodbury Elementary's African American students ranked 46th out of 279 Minnesota elementary schools in math proficiency, with a 4-star rating. Despite this, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 21.38% in 2021-2022 to 42.46% in 2022-2023, suggests that Woodbury Elementary is serving a growing population of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance and could require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this student population. Compared to nearby schools like Red Rock Elementary and Gordon Bailey Elementary, Woodbury Elementary's performance, particularly in math and reading, is generally lower, highlighting the need for a deeper analysis to identify the underlying factors and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
