Woodbury Elementary School

Summary:

Woodbury Elementary School is a public middle school located in Shaker Heights, Ohio, serving grades 4-6 with a student population of 621. The school is part of the Shaker Heights City School District, which is ranked 392 out of 835 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodbury Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with consistently higher test scores than the Shaker Heights City and Ohio state averages in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, 71.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Shaker Heights City average of 71.4% and the Ohio state average of 67.4%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 14.9 over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools like Shaker Hts Middle School and Milkovich Middle School. However, Woodbury has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.2% in 2019-2020 to 19.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

One interesting finding is that despite having a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (51.37%) and two or more races (9.02%) students compared to the surrounding schools, Woodbury Elementary's test scores are still higher than the district and state averages. This suggests that the school is effectively serving its diverse student body. However, the school's declining enrollment and shifting racial makeup, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of African American students, could be an indication of changing demographics in the area or a shift in enrollment patterns. The school and district should continue to monitor and address the chronic absenteeism issue to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
