Bose Elementary

Summary:

Bose Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 271 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 352 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bose Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is significantly lower than the Kenosha School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.59% of 3rd graders at Bose Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.81% in the Kenosha School District and 52.07% statewide. Bose Elementary also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.0% in 2018-2019 to 37.5% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools in the Kenosha School District, such as Strange Elementary, Dimensions of Learning Academy, and Harvey Elementary, Bose Elementary's performance is generally lower. These nearby schools, while still performing below the state average in many areas, tend to have higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Bose Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's challenges, and the Kenosha School District's overall low ranking suggests that systemic issues within the district may also be impacting the performance of individual schools like Bose Elementary.

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.
