Woodville Elementary

Summary:

Woodville Elementary is a public K-8 school in Porterville, California, serving 413 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodville Elementary faces several significant challenges. It has high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and large achievement gaps between student subgroups like Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-socioeconomic status students compared to their peers statewide. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.45% of Hispanic students at Woodville were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 47.04% for that group. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, suggesting it may be underfunded or struggling to allocate resources effectively.

Interestingly, Woodville Elementary's performance is significantly worse than nearby schools in the Porterville Unified and Burton Elementary districts. Schools like West Putnam Elementary, Oak Grove Elementary, and William R. Buckley Elementary all have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings compared to Woodville. This suggests Woodville Elementary is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its 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.
