Sharon Community

Summary:

Sharon Community is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Sharon J11 School District in Sharon, Wisconsin, with 196 students and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Sharon Community has seen some strengths, such as its male students and certain grade-level subject area performances outpacing the state average, the school also faces challenges. Its academic achievement has been inconsistent, with some grades and student subgroups, like special education students, underperforming. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also fluctuated widely, from 3.5% to 15%. Compared to nearby schools like West Side Elementary, Woods Elementary, and Reek Elementary, which generally outperform Sharon Community on state assessments and have lower absenteeism rates, Sharon Community may benefit from additional resources and a more stable learning environment.

Another interesting finding is the significant decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 54.34% in 2020-2021 to just 1.53% in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be serving a more affluent population. This shift could contribute to the fluctuations in academic performance and other metrics observed at Sharon Community over time, as the school's overall ranking among Wisconsin elementary schools has varied widely, from a high of 404 in 2023-2024 to a low of 862 in 2013-2014.

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.
