Woods Cross School

Q: Is Woods Cross School a good school?

Woods Cross School ranks 333 rd of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Woods Cross School is an elementary school located in Woods Cross, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 496. It is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40 out of 98 school districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Woods Cross School has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school's test scores in RISE/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the Davis District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 44.3% compared to the district's 54.1% and the state's 46.7%. Additionally, Woods Cross School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 274 and 350 out of 509-572 Utah elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state.

Compared to higher-ranked nearby schools, such as Valley View School and Muir School, which are both rated 4-5 stars by SchoolDigger and have much higher test scores across all subjects and grade levels, Woods Cross School is underperforming. The school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (23.79% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational 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.
