Gresham Elementary

Summary:

Gresham Elementary is a public elementary school located in Gresham, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 151 students. The school is part of the Gresham School District, which is ranked 388 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gresham Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 660 and 822 out of over 1,000 schools. The school has a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. This is largely due to the school's low student performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36% of 3rd graders, 55% of 4th graders, and 33.33% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 52.07%, 53.42%, and 53.75%, respectively. Gresham Elementary also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 7.7% in 2019-2020 to 17.5% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Gresham Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Clintonville Elementary, Tigerton Elementary, and Marion Elementary schools, which have higher proficiency rates on standardized tests, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serve a lower percentage of students from low-income families. To improve the school's performance, the Gresham School District should consider implementing targeted interventions, improving student attendance, and evaluating the effectiveness of its resource allocation and instructional practices.

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.
