Woodridge Middle School

Summary:

Woodridge Middle School is a public middle school located in Peninsula, Ohio, serving 424 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Woodridge Local School District, which is ranked 387 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodridge Middle School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 71.2% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 62.1%. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and White students, as well as special education and gifted and talented students, is particularly impressive, suggesting that Woodridge Middle School is effectively supporting the needs of its diverse learners. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism over the past few years, reaching 27.5% in 2023-2024, which is still lower than some nearby schools like I Promise School (38.1%) and Jennings Community Learning Center (39.9%).

When compared to the surrounding schools, Woodridge Middle School generally outperforms many of them, particularly in academic achievement and subgroup performance. This suggests that the school is providing a quality education to its diverse student population. However, the increasing chronic absenteeism rate is a concern that the school and Woodridge Local School District should address to ensure continued 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.
