Woodville School

Summary:

Woodville School is a public elementary and middle school serving grades PK-8 in Tallahassee, Florida, with a student population of 492. The school is part of the Leon County school district, which is ranked 48th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodville School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% in 2018-2019 to 44.9% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in 3rd grade English Language Arts was 35% at Woodville, compared to 55% in the district and state. Additionally, Woodville School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.35% in 2020-2021 to 69.51% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Woodville School to nearby schools in the Leon County district, such as Apalachee Elementary and Sabal Palm Elementary, Woodville performs significantly worse on most metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism rates, and the percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch. The increased per-student spending at Woodville School, from $9,355 in 2019-2020 to $12,235 in 2022-2023, suggests that additional resources are being directed to the school, but these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.

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.
