Almond-Bancroft Elementary

Summary:

Almond-Bancroft Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Almond-Bancroft School District in Almond, Wisconsin, with 186 students. Despite consistent funding, the school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools with a 1-2 star rating out of 5 in recent years.

Almond-Bancroft Elementary struggles across several key metrics. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state average on the Forward Exam in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29-34% of Almond-Bancroft students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 52-54%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.3% to 23.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, over 50% of Almond-Bancroft students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools like McDill Elementary, Plover-Whiting Elementary, and Amherst Elementary, which are all ranked higher and have better academic outcomes, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve more economically advantaged student populations, Almond-Bancroft Elementary's performance is significantly worse. The school's ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, and despite consistent funding, it has not shown significant improvement in recent years.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
