Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary

Summary:

Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary is a public elementary school serving 310 students in grades PK-6 in the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District in Ontario, Wisconsin. The school has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math below the state average for most grade levels, except for 5th and 6th grade ELA, which were above the state average. However, the school's performance has improved over time, with its ELA and Math proficiency rates increasing from 2021-2022 to 2022-2023.

One of the school's strengths is its performance for its English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroup, which ranks in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools. The school has also seen a decrease in its chronic absenteeism rate, from 9.4% in 2018-2019 to 4.0% in 2022-2023, which is now lower than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary generally performs better than Lemonweir Elementary and Miller Elementary, which are both part of the Tomah Area School District, but lags behind the higher-performing Westby Elementary and Cashton Elementary.

Despite spending more per student than some nearby schools, Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary appears to be using its resources effectively, as evidenced by its relatively low student-teacher ratio and the positive trends in its academic performance and chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's mixed performance for its Hispanic, White, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to further analyze and address the specific needs of these populations to improve their academic outcomes.

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.
