Woodbury Elementary School

Public Grades

Summary

Woodbury Elementary School is a public middle school located in Shaker Heights, Ohio, serving grades 4-6 with a student population of 621. The school is part of the Shaker Heights City School District, which is ranked 392 out of 835 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodbury Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with consistently higher test scores than the Shaker Heights City and Ohio state averages in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, 71.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Shaker Heights City average of 71.4% and the Ohio state average of 67.4%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 14.9 over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools like Shaker Hts Middle School and Milkovich Middle School. However, Woodbury has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.2% in 2019-2020 to 19.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

One interesting finding is that despite having a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (51.37%) and two or more races (9.02%) students compared to the surrounding schools, Woodbury Elementary's test scores are still higher than the district and state averages. This suggests that the school is effectively serving its diverse student body. However, the school's declining enrollment and shifting racial makeup, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of African American students, could be an indication of changing demographics in the area or a shift in enrollment patterns. The school and district should continue to monitor and address the chronic absenteeism issue to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
