Grant Elementary

Summary:

Grant Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 190 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.

Grant Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.4% compared to the district's 41.8% and the state's 30.6%. Academically, Grant Elementary students perform well below the Kenosha School District and Wisconsin state averages on the Forward Exam, with only 12% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.81% in the district and 52.07% statewide. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for African American students but struggles for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While Grant Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student and has a low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved outcomes for the students. The school's performance lags behind both the Kenosha School District and the state of Wisconsin, and it underperforms many of the nearby schools in the district, such as Frank Elementary, McKinley Elementary, and Bose Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

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.
