Kewaskum Elementary

Summary:

Kewaskum Elementary is a public elementary school serving 551 students in grades PK-5 in the Kewaskum School District in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. The school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 212 out of 1,061 schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

Kewaskum Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally above the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 58.33%, compared to the state average of 52.07%. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and special education students, is weaker compared to the overall student population. The school's relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 1.5% to 11.6% over the past few years, are a positive indicator, as high absenteeism can negatively impact student learning.

Compared to nearby schools, Kewaskum Elementary's academic performance is mixed. It outperforms some schools, such as Farmington Elementary (also in the Kewaskum School District), but lags behind others, like Allenton Elementary and Addison Elementary, which are in the top 20 and top 50 schools in the state, respectively. Kewaskum Elementary's per-student spending has been slightly above the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance, but its higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools suggests a potential area for improvement in resource allocation.

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.
