Chegwin Elementary

Summary:

Chegwin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 257. The school is part of the Fond du Lac School District, which is ranked 296 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chegwin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 809 and 938 out of over 1,000 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. Chegwin Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is significantly lower than the Fond du Lac School District and the state of Wisconsin averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 7.4% in 2019-2020 to 31.2% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average.

In comparison, the nearby schools in the Fond du Lac School District, such as Evans Elementary, Lakeshore Elementary, and Waters Elementary, generally outperform Chegwin Elementary academically, with higher proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the challenges faced by Chegwin Elementary are not necessarily shared by all schools in the district, and there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of the higher-performing schools.

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.
