Schulte School

Summary:

Schulte School is an elementary school located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 313. It is part of the Racine Unified School District, which is ranked 413 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Schulte School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 692 out of 1,061 schools and a 2-star rating.

Schulte School's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally higher than the Racine Unified School District average but lower than the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Schulte School's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 62.22%, compared to 27.49% for the district and 52.07% for the state. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.2% in 2018-2019 to 22.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average. Additionally, Schulte School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

While Schulte School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Jefferson Lighthouse Elementary and Gifford School within the Racine Unified School District, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, suggests that it may have some effective practices or programs in place that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for 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.
