Summary:

Madison Elementary is a public elementary school located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, serving 228 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Manitowoc School District, which is ranked 391 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Manitowoc School District and the state of Wisconsin in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.09% of 3rd graders at Madison Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.93% for the district and 52.07% for the state. The school's performance in mathematics is particularly concerning, with only 16.67% of 3rd graders, 21.21% of 4th graders, and 55.88% of 5th graders achieving proficiency or better, significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Madison Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 33.5% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools like Riverview Elementary (17.4%) and Jefferson Elementary (17.6%).

Further analysis reveals that Madison Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the nearby schools of Riverview Elementary (40.07%) and Jackson Elementary (41.11%). The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14.4 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the nearby schools, which have lower ratios. Overall, the data suggests that Madison Elementary is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues.

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.
