Woodmere Elementary School

Summary:

Woodmere Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Portland, Oregon, serving 234 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Woodmere Elementary School has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and the state of Oregon. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 37.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 15.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, significantly lower than the district and state averages. Woodmere's student subgroups, such as Hispanic and special education students, have also consistently underperformed compared to their peers in the state.

When comparing Woodmere Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, such as Woodstock Elementary, Lewis Elementary, and Creston Elementary, the performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools consistently outperform Woodmere in academic proficiency, school rankings, and student subgroup performance, despite Woodmere having a higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. The school's consistent low rankings and ratings over the years suggest that there may be deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed to support the success of all students at Woodmere Elementary School.

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.
