Highlands Elementary

Summary:

Highlands Elementary is a public elementary school in Appleton, Wisconsin, serving 530 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Appleton Area School District, which is ranked 240 out of 428 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Appleton district, Highlands Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating. The school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.2%, much higher than the state average, and low test scores, with only 33.9% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.2% for the district and 52.07% for the state. Additionally, Highlands Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 58.36% to 65.25% over the past three years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Appleton district, Classical School, a public charter school just 1.59 miles away, consistently outperforms Highlands Elementary across all grade levels and subject areas on the Forward Exam. This suggests that the school's struggles are not solely due to its student population, but rather a reflection of broader challenges in providing a high-quality education to all students.

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.
