Woodland Hills High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with academic performance significantly below the state average. In 2023-2024, only 7% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.6%. Similarly, only 28% were proficient or better in Biology, and 35.2% in Literature, compared to the state averages of 50.5% and 63.2%, respectively. The school's performance on Keystone Exams has declined over the years, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 75% and 87.5%, which is below the state average. The school also has a high percentage of minority and low-income students, with 89.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Gateway Senior High School and Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy 6-12, Woodland Hills High School performs significantly worse. For example, in 2023-2024, Gateway Senior High School had 41.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I, and Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy 6-12 had 79% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in the same subject, compared to Woodland Hills High School's 7%. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes.

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.
