Woodland Elementary School

Summary:

Woodland Elementary School is a public elementary school located in East Syracuse, New York, serving 291 students in grades K-5 and is part of the East Syracuse Minoa Central School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, but has a relatively homogeneous student population and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Woodland Elementary School has maintained consistently high academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are generally higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school is effectively supporting student learning and achievement. However, the school's student population is less diverse compared to nearby schools like Huntington K-8 School and Salem Hyde Elementary School. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 39.77% in 2020-2021 to 82.13% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, Woodland Elementary School generally performs better academically, has a lower student-teacher ratio, and serves a more racially homogeneous student population. This suggests the school may have some advantages in terms of resources and student support, but also highlights the need to address the increasing economic disadvantage of its student population. Overall, Woodland Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, but the school and district will need to address the unique challenges presented by the school's changing demographics to ensure the continued success of 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.
