Glacier Edge Elementary

Summary:

Glacier Edge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Verona, Wisconsin, serving 477 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Verona Area School District, which is ranked 104 out of 428 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glacier Edge Elementary has shown strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 5th-grade students achieved proficiency rates of 66.23% in English Language Arts and 64.94% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages of 53.75% and 54.24%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for its White student population, which ranked in the top 12% of Wisconsin elementary schools in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school faces challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 2.0% in 2018-2019 to 16.1% in 2022-2023, in contrast to the nearby Verona Area School District, which has maintained lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Glacier Edge Elementary's performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of other elementary schools in the Verona Area School District, such as Stoner Prairie Elementary and Sugar Creek Elementary. However, the school lags behind the exceptional performance of the district's two public charter schools, New Century School and Verona Area International School, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin. Additionally, Glacier Edge Elementary's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is notably lower than the school's overall performance and the state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

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.
