New Richmond Hillside Elementary

Summary:

New Richmond Hillside Elementary is a public elementary school serving 556 students in grades K-5 in the New Richmond School District in Wisconsin. The school's performance and metrics have fluctuated in recent years, with both strengths and areas for improvement.

Academically, New Richmond Hillside Elementary has seen its statewide ranking range from 101 out of 1,037 schools in 2018-2019 to 564 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024. While the school generally outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, its performance in certain subject areas, such as 4th-grade ELA and Science, has been lower than the nearby New Richmond Paperjack Elementary and New Richmond Starr Elementary. The school also has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to these nearby schools.

Another area of concern is the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 5.8% in 2018-2019 to 12.9% in 2022-2023, higher than the nearby schools. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are comparable to the nearby schools, the fluctuating academic performance, subgroup disparities, and rising chronic absenteeism are key areas that the school and New Richmond School District should focus on to ensure the continued success and growth of all students.

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.
