Northside Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools for the past several years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 205 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the Monroe School District and the state of Wisconsin in proficiency rates on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas, with 5th-grade students achieving proficiency rates of 79.71% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 88.41% in Mathematics.

Northside Elementary has shown strong performance across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked in the top 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools for female students and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism to 14.0% in the same year, which is an area of concern that the school and district should investigate and address. When compared to other nearby schools, such as Belleville Elementary and New Glarus Elementary, Northside Elementary's performance is still strong, but the gap is narrower, suggesting that the school's success may be partly due to the overall quality of the Monroe School District.

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.
