Summary

Lewis Anna Woodbury Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Meade, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with 587 students. The school is part of the Polk District, which is ranked 61 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lewis Anna Woodbury Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are 5-10 percentage points below the Polk District and Florida state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.67% to 79.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Polk District.

When compared to the nearby Hardee District schools, such as Wauchula Elementary School and North Wauchula Elementary School, Lewis Anna Woodbury Elementary School consistently performs worse on key metrics such as test scores and chronic absenteeism, despite being in a lower-ranked district. The school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio do not appear to be driving improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and interventions to address these persistent challenges.
