How Woodward Leadership Academy compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Woodward Leadership Academy
Woodward Leadership Academy is a high-poverty, small charter elementary school in San Bernardino, California, enrolling 69 students.
Class loads run somewhat heavier than typical: 23:1 puts it in the larger third of California schools by student-teacher ratio.
Economic need is high: 98.8% of students qualify for free meals, 78% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
This is a small campus: fewer students than 92% of California schools, with 69 enrolled.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 102 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #77, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by African American (70%) and Hispanic or Latino (26%) (diversity index 45/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 69 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 58.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 18.8% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among San Bernardino's elementary schools, it stands alongside Paakuma K-8 (940 students): Woodward Leadership Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (23:1 vs 20.9:1).
Woodward Leadership Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Woodward Leadership Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates. At 69 students, it is also a small operation, on the smaller end of California's single-school districts.
