Woodgrove High

Summary:

Woodgrove High is an alternative public school located in Purcellville, Virginia, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 1,597 students. The school is part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodgrove High stands out for its consistently high academic performance, outperforming the Loudoun County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in various SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, particularly in subjects like Writing, Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Chemistry. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of white students (76.39%) compared to nearby schools like Rock Ridge High, Heritage High, and Tuscarora High, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Woodgrove High has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (13.59% in 2022-2023), indicating a lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the nearby schools.

Woodgrove High's higher per-student spending of $17,194 in the 2020-2021 school year and lower student-teacher ratio of 12.4 in the 2022-2023 school year suggest that the school has access to more resources and a more favorable learning environment compared to the nearby schools. However, these differences in resource allocation and student demographics may raise concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for all students in the Loudoun County Public Schools district.

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.
