Woodridge School is an elementary school in Cranston, Rhode Island, serving 260 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the Cranston School District, consistently outpacing its peers in academic achievement.

Woodridge School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, 42.1% of Woodridge students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to just 29.8% for the Cranston district. In Mathematics, 33.8% of Woodridge students were proficient, compared to 25% for the district. The school's strong performance extends to Science as well, with 48.8% of students proficient or better, far exceeding the district's 27.1%. This consistent academic excellence has helped Woodridge School maintain a top-half ranking among Rhode Island elementary schools over the past decade.

Woodridge School's success may be attributed to several key factors, including higher per-student spending, a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively small student-teacher ratio. These resources and support structures likely contribute to the school's ability to effectively address the needs of its student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Arlington School, W.R. Dutemple School, and Gladstone Street School, Woodridge School consistently outperforms its peers, with only Stone Hill School coming close in academic achievement.

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.
