Rock Ledge Elementary

Summary:

Rock Ledge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Seymour, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 596 students. The school is part of the Seymour Community School District, which is ranked 291 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rock Ledge Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 4.2% in 2018-2019 to 16.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 5-10 percentage points lower than the state and district averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing particularly poorly.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Black Creek Elementary, which is also part of the Seymour Community School District, Rock Ledge Elementary generally performs worse academically. Additionally, despite the school's spending per student increasing from $10,892 in 2018-2019 to $12,916 in 2020-2021, this higher spending does not seem to have translated into improved academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 to 13.9 over the past few years, suggesting that the school may have sufficient resources in terms of staffing, but the academic performance still lags behind.

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.
