Woodland Alternative School

Summary:

Woodland Alternative School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Woodland School District in Woodland, Washington, with a relatively small student population of 116 students. While the school has a diverse student body, it faces significant challenges compared to nearby high schools like Woodland High School and Columbia River High.

Woodland Alternative School has had lower four-year graduation rates, ranging from 41% to 73.3%, compared to the 92.6% rate at Woodland High School and the 91.8% rate at Columbia River High. The school also has much higher dropout rates, ranging from 10% to 35.9%, in contrast to the 5.1% and 4.1% dropout rates at the nearby high schools. Additionally, Woodland Alternative School students generally perform worse on standardized tests, with only 58.82% proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts for 10th grade, compared to 61.31% for the Woodland School District and 66.2% for the state of Washington.

These challenges may be partly attributed to Woodland Alternative School's higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its much higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 38.6 to 79.5, compared to the 20.5 and 20.6 ratios at Woodland High School and Columbia River High, respectively. While the school's performance has shown some signs of improvement in recent years, addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to support student success and close the gap with nearby high-performing schools.

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.
