Summary

Woodland Alternative School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Woodland School District, with a current enrollment of about 96 students designed for those who may benefit from a non-traditional educational setting.

The school faces significant challenges, operating with far fewer resources than other local schools; it has a student-teacher ratio of 48-to-1, which is more than double that of nearby Woodland High School, and receives substantially less funding per student. This contributes to academic performance and graduation rates that are below both district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. The school's dropout rate is notably higher than the average, indicating ongoing difficulties with student retention.

Despite these struggles, the school has shown it can achieve strong results in specific subjects like English and Science in certain years, demonstrating potential for its students. It's important for parents to know that other alternative schools in the area, such as Summit View High School, face similar academic challenges, though with even fewer resources in some cases. The performance of Woodland Alternative is volatile, suggesting outcomes can vary significantly from year to year.
