Marquette Elementary

Summary:

Marquette Elementary is a public elementary school located in Madison, Wisconsin, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 149 students. The school is part of the Madison Metropolitan School District, which is ranked 330 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marquette Elementary consistently ranks among the top Wisconsin elementary schools, ranking as high as 57th out of 1,067 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance is significantly higher than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics around 20-30 percentage points higher. Marquette Elementary has particularly strong performance among its White and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the top 10 and top 15 Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for African American and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Wisconsin elementary schools. Additionally, Marquette Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.2% in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years to 25.8% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Marquette Elementary's academic performance is significantly higher than the other nearby schools in the Madison Metropolitan School District, which generally have lower proficiency rates and rankings. This suggests Marquette Elementary may be an outlier within the district, potentially due to factors such as student demographics, resource allocation, or effective instructional practices. While Marquette Elementary is a high-performing school overall, the increase in chronic absenteeism and the performance disparities among student subgroups indicate areas that may require further attention and intervention to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

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.
