Woodmore Elementary School

Summary:

Woodmore Elementary is a public elementary school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving 301 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hamilton County school district, which is ranked 79 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Woodmore Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (72.43%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 13.9% to 85.98% African American. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, with a ranking between 707-1000 out of 1000-1020 schools over the past 5 years. Its performance on state assessments (TNReady) is also significantly lower than the Hamilton County and Tennessee averages across all grades and subjects. Interestingly, Woodmore's African American students perform better than the overall school, ranking in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 10.5 to 12.5 over the past 3 years, and a higher per-student spending ($14,453 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, Woodmore Elementary has been unable to translate these resources into improved student outcomes. In contrast, schools like East Side Elementary and Barger Academy, which serve similar student populations, have higher proficiency rates in math and ELA. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Woodmore Elementary to learn from the practices of these higher-performing schools and address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
