Woodford Academy

Summary:

Woodford Academy is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 328 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which is ranked 597 out of 839 districts in the state.

Woodford Academy has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.3% to 44.4% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than state and district averages. Academically, Woodford Academy's proficiency rates on state tests are well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.4% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, compared to 38.4% for the district and 64% statewide.

Interestingly, Woodford Academy's performance is generally lower than nearby schools, such as Pleasant Ridge Montessori School and Sharpsburg Elementary, which have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and overall SchoolDigger rankings. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, the resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for Woodford Academy's 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.
