What stands out at Woodridge Elementary
Woodridge Elementary is a high-poverty, mid-sized elementary school in Sacramento, California, enrolling 814 students.
Class loads run heavy: 28.1:1 is larger than about 93% of California schools and 31% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 88.0% of students qualify for free meals, 59% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 814 puts it in the larger third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 100% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 1,105 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,077, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Asian (29%) and Hispanic or Latino (26%), more mixed than most schools in the state (diversity index 79/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 814 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 48.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 21.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Sacramento's elementary schools, it stands alongside Smythe Academy of Arts and Sciences (1,091 students): Woodridge Elementary is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (28.1:1 vs 23.7:1).
