Woodland Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 26.09% at Woodland Elementary, compared to 29.69% for the Barron Area School District and 52.07% for the state of Wisconsin. However, the school performs relatively well for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top quartile of Wisconsin elementary schools in these categories. Woodland Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 5.9% in 2018-2019 to 12.1% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Woodland Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of Ridgeland-Dallas Elementary and Haugen Elementary, which are also part of the Barron Area School District. However, Woodland Elementary's performance is better than some other nearby schools, such as Prairie Farm Elementary and Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary, which are in different districts. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Woodland Elementary, with 64.35% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
