Woodside Avenue School

Summary:

Woodside Avenue School is an elementary school in Franklin Lakes School District, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic proficiency, with particularly strong results in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Woodside Avenue School stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 70.59% White, 13.24% Hispanic, 5.88% Asian, and 2.57% African American. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. The school's female students and special education students have also consistently performed better than their respective state averages, indicating strong support for these subgroups. However, the school's ranking for White students has declined in recent years, suggesting a need to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.

While Woodside Avenue School's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, it remains generally lower than nearby schools, such as Crescent Elementary School, Sicomac Elementary School, and Manito Elementary School. Additionally, the school has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a relatively affluent community, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, this raises questions about the school's ability to support students from lower-income backgrounds and ensure equitable access to educational resources.

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.
