Summary:

Gifford School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Racine Unified School District in Wisconsin, with 1,411 students. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Wisconsin elementary schools.

Gifford School faces some challenges, such as below-average academic performance across grade levels and subject areas, as measured by the Forward Exam. However, the school performs relatively well in certain areas, such as 4th grade Social Studies and Science. Additionally, Gifford School's African American and Hispanic students tend to perform better than their peers at the district and state level, suggesting the school may be providing more effective support for these student groups. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.4% in 2019-2020 to 15.3% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools in the Racine Unified School District, Gifford School's performance is generally better than some, such as Jerstad-Agerholm School and West Ridge Elementary, which have lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, schools like Schulte School and RUSD Montessori outperform Gifford School in several academic areas.

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.
