Woodlands School

Summary:

Woodlands School is a public charter elementary school serving 375 students in grades PK-8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Woodlands School Inc. district, which is ranked 395 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodlands School stands out among its nearby peers in terms of academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's African American and Hispanic student populations perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% and top 50% of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively. However, the school faces challenges with higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, as well as declining performance over time. Factors such as funding, resources, and student-teacher ratios may contribute to these trends, as Woodlands School spends around $9,500 per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to some higher-performing nearby schools like Wilson Elementary and Jefferson Elementary in the Wauwatosa School District.

While Woodlands School outperforms nearby High-Mount Elementary, Bethune Academy, and Neeskara Elementary in the Milwaukee School District, it lags behind the performance of schools in the Wauwatosa School District. The school's own Woodlands School - State Street Campus also performs significantly worse than the main Woodlands School campus across most academic metrics.

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.
