Summary:
The city of Sullivan, Wisconsin has just one school, Sullivan Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. As the sole school in the area, Sullivan Elementary's performance is crucial for the educational outcomes of children in Sullivan. The school's recent decline in statewide ranking, from 361 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 532 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024, suggests its academic performance may be slipping relative to other schools in the state.
Sullivan Elementary's test scores show a mixed picture, with proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ELA and math falling below the Jefferson School District and state averages in 2023-2024. However, the school's 4th grade social studies and science proficiency rates were above district and state levels in both 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.8% in 2022-2023 is also a concern, as high rates can negatively impact student learning.
On a positive note, Sullivan Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's socioeconomic factors, with 25.97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, suggest the need for additional resources and support to address any challenges related to the school's demographics. Overall, the data highlights both areas of concern and potential strengths for Sullivan Elementary, and the school and district should use this information to develop a comprehensive plan to improve student outcomes.
