Summary:

Hintgen Elementary is a public elementary school in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving 246 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the La Crosse School District, which is ranked 303 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hintgen Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of Hintgen students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 23.33% to 28.21%, compared to the district's 43.01% to 50.4% and the state's 52.07% to 53.75%. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.33% to 38.46%, compared to the district's 40.93% to 47.23% and the state's 54.24% to 56.58%. Hintgen has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.7% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.7% in 2019-2020 to 16.7% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as North Woods International School, Summit Environmental School, and Emerson Elementary, Hintgen's academic performance is consistently lower, and the school has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite Hintgen's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that additional resources and support may be needed to address the specific challenges faced by the school's 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.
