Summary:

Sugar Bush Elementary is a public elementary school located in New London, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 118 students. The school is part of the New London School District, which is ranked 171 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sugar Bush Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, and inconsistent results across different student groups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has significantly increased from 3.7% in 2020-2021 to 16.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby Readfield Elementary (11.8%) and Hortonville Elementary (4.7%). In the 2023-2024 school year, Sugar Bush Elementary's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam were lower than the New London School District and the state of Wisconsin averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's performance has been inconsistent across different student groups, with rankings ranging from 166 out of 746 to 498 out of 790 for special education students, and 126 out of 859 to 632 out of 866 for low-income students. Nearby schools, such as Readfield Elementary and Parkview Elementary, have consistently outperformed Sugar Bush Elementary on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Sugar Bush Elementary (46.61% in 2022-2023) and the school's small size and limited resources compared to larger nearby schools may be contributing factors to its lower performance.

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.
