Wilson Elementary

Summary:

Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 116 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 327 out of 424 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary stands out from nearby schools like McKinley Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Strange Elementary due to its significantly higher percentage of African American (48.28%) and Hispanic (37.07%) students, as well as its consistently low academic performance. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 7.14% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 33.67% and the state average of 37.88%. Additionally, Wilson Elementary has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 33.0% to 51.2% over the past few years, and over 90% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While the nearby schools in the Kenosha School District also face challenges, with most ranking in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, Wilson Elementary stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools in the district and the state. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the Wilson Elementary community and improve student outcomes.

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.
