Grewenow Elementary

Summary:

Grewenow Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 273 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.

Grewenow Elementary faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (34.9% in 2022-2023) and consistently lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 42.11% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.81% for the district and 52.07% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for African American and Hispanic students but lower rankings for female, male, white, and multi-racial students, as well as for students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Grewenow Elementary has a very high percentage of students (73.26% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Jeffery Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, Grewenow Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores. However, the school's strong performance for African American and Hispanic students suggests that it may have effective strategies in place for supporting these subgroups, which could potentially be replicated to improve outcomes for other student groups. Addressing the challenges at Grewenow Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the specific needs of the school's diverse student population.

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.
