Summary

Woodlawn Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Sebring, Florida, with an enrollment of 777 students. The school is part of the Highlands School District, which is ranked 43 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodlawn Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 36.0%, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also generally below the Highlands district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Woodlawn's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 52% compared to 58% for Highlands and 57% for Florida. Additionally, Woodlawn has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.26% to 81.08%, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Comparing Woodlawn Elementary to nearby schools in the Highlands district, such as Lake Placid Elementary, Park Elementary, and Sun 'n Lake Elementary, highlights the need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student performance at Woodlawn. These nearby schools have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
