Edward Bain School - Creative Arts

Summary:

Edward Bain School - Creative Arts is an elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 348 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. Unfortunately, Edward Bain School - Creative Arts has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (46.9% compared to 19.8% at nearby Roosevelt Elementary and 20.4% at Kenosha School of Technology Enhanced Curriculum), very low academic performance on the Forward Exam (only 5.88% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 43.81% in the district and 52.07% statewide), and large achievement gaps for certain student subgroups. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 91.38% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its proximity to several higher-performing schools in the Kenosha School District, Edward Bain School - Creative Arts has consistently underperformed its neighbors. The school's challenges appear to be systemic, as its performance has not improved significantly over the past decade, even with relatively high per-student spending of $14,344 in the 2020-2021 school year. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, supporting student and family engagement, and ensuring equitable access to high-quality educational opportunities.

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.
