Spence Elementary

Summary:

Spence Elementary is a public elementary school located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 335. It is part of the La Crosse School District, which is ranked 303 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spence Elementary consistently outperforms the La Crosse School District and the state of Wisconsin in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in Mathematics. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and female students. However, the school's performance for male students and White students is relatively lower. Additionally, Spence Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which may be an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools in the La Crosse School District, Spence Elementary generally outperforms in academic proficiency, with the exception of the School of Technology and Arts I, a public charter school that also demonstrates strong academic performance. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to the challenges with chronic absenteeism, while its smaller class size may be a factor in its academic success.

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.
