Gilmanton Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the Forward Exam, a standardized test used in Wisconsin. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and other subjects were significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0% to 17.3% over the past few years, with a rate of 8.5% in 2022-2023 that was higher than the state average. Gilmanton Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.67% to 53.12% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the state.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Gilmanton Elementary, ranging from $13,759 to $15,928 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. When compared to nearby schools, such as Caddie Woodlawn Elementary in the Durand-Arkansaw School District and Alma Elementary in the Alma School District, Gilmanton Elementary generally underperforms on the Forward Exam and has a lower school ranking. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and strategies to improve student performance and address the chronic absenteeism issue.

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.
