Summary:

Green Lake Elementary is a public elementary school located in Green Lake, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 152 students. The school is part of the Green Lake School District, which is ranked 137 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Green Lake Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with strong academic performance, particularly in 4th and 6th grade. The school's special education program also stands out, ranking 36 out of 721 Wisconsin elementary schools in the 2017-2018 school year. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.3% in 2020-2021 to 10.7% in 2022-2023. Additionally, there are notable performance gaps between male and female students, with the school's ranking for male students significantly lower than for female students in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Green Lake Elementary generally performs better academically, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics than the Rosendale-Brandon and Markesan school districts. However, the Quest Charter School in the Ripon Area School District outperforms Green Lake Elementary in several academic areas, particularly in the upper elementary grades. These comparisons suggest that Green Lake Elementary could benefit from collaborating with high-performing neighboring schools to identify and implement best practices that could further improve student 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.

Open Quote This school has a serious issue with bullying both in the classroom & of the parents. There is no strong administration & the teachers do what they wish, whether or not the best interest of the students is at stake. The kindergarten room alone is a great example of why teacher tenure should not exist. The IB program is wonderful in theory, but is not being applied correctly in this school. Close Quote

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.
