Thoreau Elementary

Summary:

Thoreau Elementary is a public elementary school in Madison, Wisconsin, serving 415 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Madison Metropolitan School District, which is ranked 330 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thoreau Elementary has consistently performed better than the district and state averages in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 59.65% of Thoreau's 5th-grade students scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.07% for the district and 53.75% for the state. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and low-socioeconomic status students, is significantly lower and often in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools. This stark disparity in student achievement suggests the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all learners.

Another area of concern at Thoreau Elementary is the high and increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which rose from 9.4% in 2018-2019 to 29.1% in 2022-2023. This is notably higher than the district average of 31.3% at nearby Huegel Elementary and 12.0% at Van Hise Elementary. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be a priority for the school and district. Despite these challenges, Thoreau Elementary's overall academic performance suggests the potential for improvement, and the school could become a higher-performing institution by leveraging its strengths and implementing targeted strategies to support all student subgroups.

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.
