Woodside Elementary

Summary:

Woodside Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 349. The school is part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District, which is ranked 281 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodside Elementary has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 196 (2015-2016) and 602 (2018-2019) out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 519 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the Forward Exam varies across grade levels and subject areas, with some strengths in 5th-grade math and 4th-grade social studies, but lower performance in 4th-grade English Language Arts. Woodside Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly lower than other nearby schools in the Wisconsin Rapids School District, such as Grant Elementary and Washington Elementary. However, the nearby THINK Academy-Together Helping INspire Kids school outperforms Woodside Elementary in several academic areas.

Woodside Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 37.54% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is higher than the state average and may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, especially for student subgroups from low-income families. The school has also experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.1% in 2020-2021 to 4.9% in 2022-2023. However, Woodside Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 12.5 students per teacher in recent years, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.

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.
