Whitehall Memorial Elementary

Summary:

Whitehall Memorial Elementary is a public elementary school serving 435 students in grades PK-6 in Whitehall, Wisconsin, which is part of the Whitehall School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 36.36% to 55.1% in English Language Arts and 43.64% to 63.27% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 52.07% to 54.1% and 53.55% to 56.58%, respectively.

Whitehall Memorial Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and white students and special education students performing relatively poorly. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform exceptionally well, with the school ranking 29 out of 269 Wisconsin elementary schools for this subgroup in 2023-2024. The school also faces a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.3% in 2018-2019 to 20.6% in 2021-2022, which may be contributing to its overall academic performance challenges.

With 51.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, Whitehall Memorial Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be a significant factor contributing to the school's overall academic performance challenges. Addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by these students, as well as the chronic absenteeism issue, could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve outcomes.

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.
