Woodward Leadership Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-6
Summary

Woodward Leadership Academy is a small public charter elementary school in San Bernardino, CA, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 84 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 1-2% of California elementary schools, with extremely low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas.

On the 2023-2024 Smarter Balanced Assessments, only 6.98% of Woodward Leadership Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school's performance on the California Science Test was even worse, with 0% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better. Woodward Leadership Academy also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 16.7% in 2022-2023. Interestingly, nearby Bradley Elementary and Captain Leland Norton Elementary, which serve similar low-income communities in the San Bernardino City Unified district, are able to achieve significantly better academic outcomes.

The challenges faced by Woodward Leadership Academy do not appear to be solely due to socioeconomic factors, as the nearby schools in the district also serve predominantly low-income populations. The high chronic absenteeism rates across the area suggest that this is a broader issue that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and engagement at Woodward Leadership Academy and other schools in the San Bernardino community.
