Summary:
The Whitehall School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Whitehall Memorial Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Whitehall Memorial Elementary's academic performance is generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's strongest performance is in 5th grade Mathematics, where 63.27% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 54.24%. However, the school struggles in 3rd grade English Language Arts, where only 36.36% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 52.07%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 11.7% in the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 and above-average per-student spending of $12,352 for the 2020-2021 school year, its academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes, and the school may benefit from implementing targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges faced by its student population, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and providing additional support in areas of academic weakness.
