Woodview Elementary School

Summary:

Woodview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Belding, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the Belding Area School District, which is ranked 399 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodview Elementary faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 23.5% to 34.5%, compared to the state averages of 39.6% to 44%. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 7.8% to 34.6%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, there are significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups, with white students and students with special needs ranking in the bottom 15% and bottom 5% of Michigan elementary schools, respectively. Compared to nearby schools, such as Lakes Elementary in the Rockford Public Schools district and the Greenville Public Schools elementary schools, Woodview Elementary's academic performance and other key metrics are generally lower.

Despite Woodview Elementary's relatively high per-student spending of $16,444 in 2022-2023, the school's performance has declined over the past several years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower M-Step proficiency rates. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community to support student success.

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.
