Fall Creek Elementary

Summary:

Fall Creek Elementary is a public elementary school serving 445 students in grades PK-5 in the Fall Creek School District in Wisconsin. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 238 and 688 out of over 1,000 schools. Its performance on the Forward Exam is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and other subjects trailing the Wisconsin averages.

One concerning trend at Fall Creek Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.4% in 2018-2019 to 25.2% in 2021-2022. This high chronic absenteeism rate may be directly impacting the school's academic performance. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Fall Creek Elementary has decreased from 13.78% in 2020-2021 to 3.15% in 2022-2023, which is an outlier compared to nearby schools like Northwoods Elementary, Manz Elementary, and Meadowview Elementary, which have much higher percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Comparing Fall Creek Elementary to its nearby counterparts highlights the potential for improvement, as these other schools consistently outperform Fall Creek Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Addressing the challenges at Fall Creek Elementary, such as the high chronic absenteeism and disparities in subgroup outcomes, while learning from the successes of neighboring schools, may be key to enhancing the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Fall Creek Elementary.

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.
