East Elementary

Summary:

East Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jefferson, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Jefferson School District, which is ranked 268 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, with its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance for its White student population and Special Education students has been relatively lower. East Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than Sullivan Elementary (25.97%) but lower than West Elementary (55.56%).

One of the school's strengths is its consistent high rankings for its English Language Learner (ELL) student population, suggesting the school is effectively supporting the academic needs of this subgroup. However, the school's fluctuating performance for its Special Education students indicates a need to closely monitor and address the educational needs of this population. Overall, East Elementary appears to be a solid performing school within the Jefferson School District, with some areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its White and Special Education student populations.

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.
