Murray Park Elementary

Summary:

Murray Park Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ripon, Wisconsin, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 173 students. The school is part of the Ripon Area School District, which is ranked 152 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Murray Park Elementary has seen fluctuating rankings and ratings over the years, ranging from 168th to 724th out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools and 2 to 4 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale. The school has shown significant differences in performance between male and female students, with female students ranking much higher than male students. Additionally, the school's test scores in core subjects are generally below the Ripon Area School District and Wisconsin state averages, with the exception of 4th grade Social Studies where the school outperforms the district and state.

Interestingly, within the Ripon Area School District, Murray Park Elementary is the only traditional public elementary school, while the other two schools are public charter schools. The charter school, Quest Charter School, consistently outperforms Murray Park Elementary and the district as a whole in test scores and rankings. This suggests that the instructional approaches and resources at the charter school may be more effective in supporting student learning. Additionally, Murray Park Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

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.
