Woodglen Elementary School

Summary:

Woodglen Elementary School is a public elementary school located in New City, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 419 students. It is part of the Clarkstown Central School District, which is ranked 217 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Woodglen Elementary School's 5th-grade students performed better than the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA), the school's overall academic performance on state assessments is generally lower than the surrounding schools and the state average. The school also faces significant achievement gaps, with its Asian, African American, and English Language Learner students performing significantly worse than their peers. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities and ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students.

Woodglen Elementary School is located in close proximity to several other elementary schools within the Clarkstown Central School District, such as Laurel Plains Elementary and Little Tor Elementary, which consistently outperform Woodglen on state assessments and have higher overall rankings. This proximity to higher-performing schools presents an opportunity for Woodglen to learn from and collaborate with these schools to identify best practices and strategies that can be implemented to improve its own performance.

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.
