Wilder Elementary

Summary:

Wilder Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving 438 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Green Bay Area Public School District, which is ranked 375 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Wilder Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a ranking between 776-902 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years.

Wilder Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, student attendance, and supporting the needs of its diverse student population. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with just 26.32% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 31.58% proficient in Math, compared to 36.74% and 43.26% for the district, respectively. Wilder Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 7.6% in 2018-2019 to 20.7% in 2022-2023, well above the district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.05% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, Wilder Elementary's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners and McAuliffe Elementary, which are also part of the Green Bay Area Public School District. These schools have much higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a more socioeconomically advantaged student population. Despite the challenges faced by Wilder Elementary, the school's per-student spending is on par with or higher than the nearby schools, suggesting that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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.
