Woodrow Wilson Middle

Summary:

Woodrow Wilson Middle is a public middle school located in Glendale, CA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,069 students. It is part of the Glendale Unified School District, which is ranked 364 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodrow Wilson Middle faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, and a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, is relatively stronger. Interestingly, the school's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Rosemont Middle, but better than the nearby Theodore Roosevelt Middle and Eleanor J. Toll Middle, all of which are part of the Glendale Unified School District.

Woodrow Wilson Middle also has a relatively high percentage of homeless students, which may be an important factor in improving overall academic outcomes. Continued efforts to address the school's areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and academic achievement, could lead to improved outcomes for all students.

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.
