Wood Memorial Primary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Wood Memorial Primary School is an elementary school located in Oakland City, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The school is part of the East Gibson School Corporation, which is ranked 180 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wood Memorial Primary School has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district average, its academic performance is a mixed bag. The school's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. In ILEARN Math, 3rd and 4th-grade students perform better than the district and state, but 5th and 6th-graders perform significantly worse. The school's ILEARN Science and Social Studies proficiency rates are also lower than the district and state averages. Interestingly, nearby schools like Haubstadt Community School and Otwell Miller Academy outperform Wood Memorial Primary School in several academic areas.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district average, its overall performance has been declining. Over the past decade, Wood Memorial Primary School's statewide ranking has steadily dropped, and its SchoolDigger star rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars. The high chronic absenteeism rates and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools could be crucial in improving the outcomes for the students at Wood Memorial Primary School.
