Roberts Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, ranging from 594th to 823rd out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 40.38%, compared to 47.26% for the district and 52.07% for the state. Similarly, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics was 47.37%, compared to 53.55% for the district and 54.24% for the state. Additionally, Roberts Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2020-2021 to 14.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Lakeshore Elementary, located within the same district, consistently outperforms Roberts Elementary and the district as a whole on academic measures, ranking among the top 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools. In contrast, Parkside Elementary, also within the Fond du Lac School District, performs significantly worse than Roberts Elementary across most subject areas and grade levels. These stark differences within the same district suggest that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the varying academic outcomes.

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.
