Royall High

Summary:

Royall High is a public high school located in Elroy, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 223 students. While the school has maintained relatively high graduation rates and low dropout rates, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin high schools, with a current ranking of 368 out of 431 schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Royall High's performance is particularly concerning in several key areas. The school's test scores on the Forward Exam and ACT are consistently below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates often in the 20-30% range, while the state averages are typically around 40-50%. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.9% in 2019-2020 to 13.8% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting student performance. Compared to nearby schools, such as Tomah High, Weston Senior High School, and Hillsboro High, Royall High's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism.

One potential factor contributing to Royall High's academic challenges is the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.5-57.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Additionally, the school's small size and rural location may also be contributing factors. To address these issues, Royall High may need to implement targeted interventions and focus on addressing the specific needs of its student population, particularly male students and white students, who are performing significantly lower than their peers in the state.

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.
