Woodrow Wilson Elementary School

Summary:

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Duncan, Oklahoma, serving 315 students in grades K-5. The school faces several challenges, including consistently lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics lower than the Duncan School District and the state averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, around 90%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools in the district. Additionally, Woodrow Wilson Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.8 to 15.9 students per teacher, compared to the lower ratios at other schools in the district.

Despite these challenges, Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has shown gradual improvement in its ranking over time, moving from 780 out of 845 schools in the state in 2009-2010 to 348 out of 389 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be making efforts to address its academic performance. Additionally, the proximity of higher-performing schools in the Duncan School District, such as Horace Mann Elementary and Plato Elementary, presents opportunities for Woodrow Wilson Elementary to collaborate and share best practices 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.
