Woodbine Elementary School

Summary:

Woodbine Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Woodbine, New Jersey, with 232 students. The school is part of the Woodbine School District, which is ranked 594 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Woodbine Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodbine Elementary School faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.6% to 36.7% over the past few years, well above the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is also well below state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 7.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.6%, and 0% were proficient in math, compared to 47.6% statewide. Additionally, Woodbine Elementary School has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.81% to 79.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools.

Woodbine Elementary School's performance lags significantly behind most of the nearby schools, including Commercial Township School, Weymouth Township Elementary School, and Upper Township Elementary School, which generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. While Woodbine Elementary School's relatively low student-teacher ratio may be a strength, the underlying factors driving the school's poor outcomes warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
