Summary:
The Gresham School District has only one elementary school, Gresham Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 151 students. While the school allocates significant resources, with a higher-than-average per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it consistently underperforms compared to state averages on standardized test scores, indicating that the school is struggling to meet academic benchmarks.
Gresham Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 711-822 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 3 years, and a 1-2 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, suggesting below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are generally lower than the state averages across subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (54.3%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6%, which is higher than the state average.
These findings suggest that the challenges faced by Gresham Elementary may be rooted in socioeconomic factors, and the current resource allocation may not be effectively addressing the underlying issues. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
