Summary:

Granton Elementary is a public elementary school located in Granton, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 119 students. The school is part of the Granton Area School District, which is ranked 374 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Granton Elementary faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with English Language Arts proficiency ranging from 28.57% to 35.71% compared to the state average of 52.07% to 53.75%. The school's performance for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, is also lower than the state averages for those groups. Additionally, Granton Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.1% in 2019-2020 to 12.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Granton Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Pittsville Elementary, Grant Elementary, and Washington Elementary, which are all ranked higher and have higher proficiency rates on the Forward Exam. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more advantaged student population. However, Granton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 12 students per teacher, which may provide an opportunity for more individualized attention and support for students.

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.
