Woden Elementary

Summary:

Woden Elementary is a public elementary school in Woden, Texas, serving 455 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Woden Independent School District, which is ranked 350 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Woden Elementary was once a high-performing school, its academic performance has declined in recent years. The school's SchoolDigger ranking has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 196 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 3,378 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022. Its current ranking for 2023-2024 is 2,983 out of 4,675, earning it a 2-star rating. Woden Elementary's STAAR test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in reading and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30.99% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school also struggles with performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as gender, race, and socioeconomic status.

When compared to nearby schools, Woden Elementary generally underperforms. For instance, Central Heights Elementary, located 14.98 miles away, has significantly higher STAAR test scores and a higher SchoolDigger ranking (4-star rating) than Woden Elementary. The school's high percentage of students (66.15% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch also indicates significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to its academic struggles.

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.
