State Road Elementary

Summary:

State Road Elementary is a public elementary school in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving 311 students in grades PK-5 and part of the La Crosse School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally higher than the district but lower than the state averages. However, the school's performance in Social Studies and Science for 4th grade exceeds both the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, School of Technology and Arts I stands out with consistently high academic performance, ranking in the top 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools. In contrast, Northside Elementary and Hamilton Elementary have significantly lower academic performance. State Road Elementary's spending per student is lower than some of these nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio is higher, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.

To address the school's challenges, State Road Elementary should focus on improving attendance and addressing equity concerns, particularly for multi-racial students and students with low socioeconomic status. The school can also learn from the successful practices of high-performing schools like School of Technology and Arts I and optimize its resource allocation to better support student learning and address the specific needs of its 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.
