Woodland Middle School

Summary:

Woodland Middle School is a public middle school located in Barrington, New Jersey, serving 245 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Bellmawr Public School District, which is ranked 366 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodland Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (76.33%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, but its performance in Science is notably lower, with only 11.3% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 18.6%. Additionally, Woodland Middle School has experienced a concerning spike in chronic absenteeism, from 3.2% in 2020-2021 to 28.8% in 2021-2022. When compared to nearby schools, such as Haddonfield Middle School, which is ranked 55th in the state, Woodland Middle School generally performs on par or slightly better in ELA and Mathematics, but lags behind in Science proficiency.

Woodland Middle School's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students, and the school's performance for white students and special education students being generally lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($4,685 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, which may impact the resources and support available to students. Addressing these areas, such as the low Science proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and subgroup performance disparities, could help Woodland Middle School improve its overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all students.

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.
