Frank Elementary

Summary:

Frank Elementary is an elementary school located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 326 students. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 352 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frank Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and varying performance among different student subgroups. While the school performs relatively well for African American students, it struggles with Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.85% to 95.21% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Frank Elementary to other nearby schools in the Kenosha School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Dimensions of Learning Academy and Kenosha School of Technology Enhanced Curriculum, both public charter schools in the district, consistently outperform Frank Elementary on test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the high level of economic disadvantage at Frank Elementary, the school's spending per student is on par with or slightly higher than the nearby schools, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized.

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.
