Woodrow Wilson School

Summary:

Woodrow Wilson School is an elementary school located in Binghamton, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 352 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past several years and performing significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Woodrow Wilson School's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with the school struggling the most with its White, Hispanic, and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of schools in New York. The school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,139 in 2022-2023) compared to the state and district averages, the school's performance has declined over the past several years, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively targeted or utilized to improve student outcomes.

In comparison, the other elementary schools in the Binghamton City School District, as well as the nearby schools in the Chenango Valley and Johnson City Central School Districts, generally have higher academic performance, lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, and lower spending per student. Addressing the challenges faced by Woodrow Wilson School will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on targeted interventions, equitable practices, and effective use of available 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.
