Woodfields Elementary

Summary:

Woodfields Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenwood, South Carolina, serving 758 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenwood 50 District, which is ranked 22 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Woodfields Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 30.21% White, 45.78% African American, and 18.34% Hispanic students, which is more diverse than the nearby schools. However, the school has struggled academically, with its statewide ranking declining from 353 out of 624 South Carolina elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 213 out of 638 in 2023-2024. The school is currently rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, lower than the 4-star rating of the Greenwood 50 District. While the school ranks highly for African American students and English Language Learners, it ranks lower for White students and male students, suggesting the need for additional support for these groups.

Woodfields Elementary faces significant challenges, including a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. The school has also seen a decline in its test scores over the past few years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics falling below the district and state averages. When compared to the nearby schools in the Greenwood 50 District, such as Hodges Elementary and Dr. Benjamin E. Mays Elementary, Woodfields Elementary generally performs worse academically. However, the school's strengths in supporting specific student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, provide a foundation for potential improvement with targeted interventions and additional resources.

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.
