Summary

Woodrow Wilson Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bayonne, New Jersey, with 721 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodrow Wilson Community School generally underperforms compared to the Bayonne School District and the state of New Jersey on standardized test scores, with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 26.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the district average. While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, it lags behind the high-performing Soaring Heights Charter School, which is located just 0.66 miles away.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student at $12,061 in 2018-2019, its academic performance remains relatively low compared to the state and district. This may indicate a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing more targeted support for underperforming student subgroups could be crucial steps in helping Woodrow Wilson Community School improve its overall performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
