Tigerton Elementary

Summary:

Tigerton Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the small town of Tigerton, Wisconsin, with 128 students enrolled. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Tigerton Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates have risen sharply, from 2.8% in 2018-2019 to 16.1% in 2020-2021, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Iola-Scandinavia Elementary (0.0% in 2022-2023) and Hatley Elementary (7.8% in 2022-2023). The school's test scores on the Forward Exam are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 42.11% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.07%. Additionally, Tigerton Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.65% to 54.69% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools.

Tigerton Elementary's declining statewide ranking, from 375th out of 1,076 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 845th out of 1,061 in 2023-2024, is concerning and suggests the school is struggling to keep pace with its peers. The school also faces significant performance gaps between male and female students, as well as between students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and their peers. By learning from the successes of nearby schools, such as Iola-Scandinavia Elementary and Hatley Elementary, and implementing targeted interventions, Tigerton Elementary can work to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its community.

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.
