Gegan Elementary

Summary:

Gegan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Menasha, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 269 students. The school is part of the Menasha Joint School District, which is ranked 364 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gegan Elementary consistently performs below the Menasha Joint School District and the state of Wisconsin in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Gegan Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 29.17% in ELA and 25% in Math, compared to the district's 43.63% and 43.69%, and the state's 52.07% and 56.58%, respectively. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.0% in 2020-2021 to 28.7% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Gegan Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages. The school's student subgroups, such as female, male, White, and low socioeconomic status students, consistently perform below their peers across the state. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students have shown stronger performance, with higher rankings compared to other Wisconsin elementary schools. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the school's educational programs and support systems.

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.
