Hortonville Elementary

Summary:

Hortonville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 508 students in grades PK-4 in the Hortonville Area School District in Wisconsin. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average but below the district average across grade levels and subject areas.

Hortonville Elementary has seen fluctuations in its rankings for different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for special education students but lower rankings for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school has also experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which are higher than the rates at nearby Greenville Elementary. Interestingly, North Greenville Elementary, another school in the Hortonville Area School District, consistently outperforms Hortonville Elementary on state assessments.

While Hortonville Elementary's per-student spending has increased in recent years and is higher than some nearby schools, its student-teacher ratio is also higher, suggesting that the additional funding may not be directly translating to smaller class sizes. Additionally, Hortonville Elementary serves a relatively more affluent student population compared to some surrounding schools, with a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients.

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.
