Hall-Woodward Elementary

Summary:

Hall-Woodward Elementary is a public school in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, serving 553 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, which is ranked 164 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Hall-Woodward faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 65.1% Hispanic, significantly higher than nearby schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science that are well below district and state averages. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Nearby schools like The Arts Based School and Sedge Garden Elementary outperform Hall-Woodward, even with similar demographic profiles.

The data suggests that Hall-Woodward's challenges are systemic and will require a comprehensive approach to address. Targeted support for subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students from low-income backgrounds, could be crucial in helping to close the achievement gaps. Overall, the school faces significant hurdles, but with the right interventions and support, there is potential for improvement.

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.
