Summary:

Woodlands Middle/High School is a public school serving 681 students in grades 7-12 in Hartsdale, New York, as part of the Greenburgh Central School District. The school has consistently been ranked in the middle range of New York high schools, receiving 2-3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

While Woodlands performs below the state average on many standardized tests, it does better than the state average for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. However, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.8% to 37.8% over the past few years, significantly above the state average. Woodlands also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.88% to 65.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Woodlands performs better than the lower-ranked Greenburgh Eleven High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Scarsdale Senior High School, Irvington High School, and Edgemont Junior-Senior High School. While Woodlands appears to be providing more equitable educational opportunities for certain student subgroups, the school still struggles to close the achievement gap for its white and low-income student populations.

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.
