Belmont Elementary

Summary:

Belmont Elementary is a public elementary school serving 228 students in grades PK-6 in Belmont, Wisconsin, which is part of the Belmont Community School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain student groups and subject areas, but also challenges in others.

Belmont Elementary has outperformed the state average in 3rd and 5th grade English Language Arts, as well as 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade Mathematics on the Forward Exam. However, the school has underperformed the state in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Over the past few years, the school's performance has fluctuated, ranking between 334 and 742 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. The school has performed well for female students and low socioeconomic status students, but has struggled with its white student population, ranking in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools in this category.

Compared to nearby schools like Dodgeville Elementary, Southwestern Wisconsin Elementary, and Mineral Point Elementary, Belmont Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some nearby schools, such as Shullsburg Elementary and Darlington Elementary/Middle, in certain subject areas and grade levels. The school's increasing population of economically disadvantaged students and rising chronic absenteeism rates are areas that may require additional attention and support to improve overall student 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.
