Woodland Consolidated School

Summary:

Woodland Consolidated School is a small, rural elementary school in Woodland, Maine, serving 169 students in grades PK-8 as part of the Limestone Public Schools district. While the school performs well in English Language Arts, it faces challenges in Mathematics and Science, as well as a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism.

Woodland Consolidated School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (94.67%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's performance on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) tests is mixed, with students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts (70.59% proficient or better) but lagging behind in Mathematics (60% proficient or better) and Science (28.57% proficient or better). Additionally, Woodland Consolidated School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 44.97% in 2022-2023, which is higher than some of the nearby schools like Easton Elementary School and Mapleton Elementary School.

One concerning trend at Woodland Consolidated School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.6% in 2020-2021 to 32.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years but has generally trended downward, from a high of 72 out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 103 out of 290 in 2022-2023. While Woodland Consolidated School performs better than the state average in English Language Arts, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, presenting opportunities for improvement and addressing the unique needs of its predominantly white student population.

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.
