Williams Bay Elementary

Summary:

Williams Bay Elementary is a public elementary school serving 319 students in grades PK-5 in the Williams Bay School District in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. The school has a strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5.

Williams Bay Elementary's student performance is particularly noteworthy, with the school ranking in the top 25% of Williams Bay Elementary for both female and male students, as well as for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student has also increased over the years, reaching $12,265 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.4% in 2019-2020 to 22.0% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

Compared to nearby schools, Jackson Elementary and Eastview Elementary outperform Williams Bay Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. However, Walworth Elementary has lower proficiency rates compared to Williams Bay Elementary, particularly in Mathematics. The school's strong performance, despite having a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggests that factors beyond socioeconomic status, such as effective teaching practices and a supportive learning environment, may be contributing to the school's success.

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.
